In April 2026, we hosted the IGS Enterprise Edition in this same room: 200 attendees, 45 speakers, and packed demo floors across two days, with speakers and participants from Microsoft, Google, NVIDIA, Adobe, AWS, Lenovo, Lockheed Martin, Qualcomm, Meta, Stanford University, and more.
Our VRARA Healthcare Forums (2020–present) have welcomed 1,000+ attendees and 50+ speakers, with past participants from Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, NHS UK, Atrium Health, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and the US Army Medical R&D Command.

Why Attend
Healthcare's AI and XR transformation is no longer a pilot program, it's in production. Health systems are deploying clinical simulation, AI-assisted imaging, intelligent triage, and care coordination agents at scale, and the gap between early movers and late adopters is widening fast.
This is not a conference about what's possible. It's about what's working.
