  • 2026 ViVE and HIMSS Preview - Healthcare IT Today Podcast Episode 186
    Feb 16 2026

    For the 186th episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast, we are doing a preview of this year’s ViVE and HIMSS conferences! We kick this episode off by discussing the differences between HIMSS and ViVE. Then we talk about whether we would pick one conference over the other, or if we would do both. Next, we theorize what topics will be discussed in the hallways at ViVe and HIMSS. We then talk about what topics we are the most interested in covering at ViVE and HIMSS. Lastly, we share our tips and tricks for not only surviving but thriving at both of these conferences.

    At ViVE, Colin and I will be in the Media Village doing paid and earned interviews. At HIMSS, we will have a big booth in the back corner where we will have our on-site interview studios – come visit us at 6453. If you are looking to showcase your thought leadership, build brand awareness, or tell an important customer or product story, you may want to consider one of our sponsored interview packages.

    Here’s a preview of the topics and questions we discuss in this episode:
