AMIA Annual Symposium 2026

What is the AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium, and why do informatics teams attend?

The AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium is the American Medical Informatics Association's scientific meeting for biomedical and health informatics, held November 7 to 11, 2026 in Dallas. AMIA's prospectus says it brings together more than 2,300 healthcare informatics professionals and runs 600+ presentations over 150 sessions. The 2026 theme is Harnessing Informatics to Accelerate Learning Health Systems.

AMIA calls the meeting the world's premier scientific meeting for biomedical and health informatics, and the prospectus says it builds on more than 45 years of Symposium history. Both lines are organiser descriptions rather than audited figures. The whole program takes over the Hilton Anatole at 2201 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, TX 75207, so plenaries, posters and booths sit under one roof.

Who should attend or exhibit at AMIA 2026 in Dallas?

The AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium is built for the people who run clinical data and informatics programs inside health systems. The prospectus names Chief Medical Informatics Officers and Chief Nurse Informatics Officers among its target attendees, next to Health IT Industry Representatives and Government Agencies and Policymakers.

The continuing education listing widens that to clinicians (physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists), health IT professionals, computer scientists, policymakers and vendors. On the exhibit side, AMIA counts more than 50 exhibitors drawn from industry companies, academic institutions and government agencies. For a vendor, the aisle mixes buyers with university programs recruiting the same graduate students.

When is the AMIA Annual Symposium 2026, and what are the exhibit hall hours?

The AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium runs November 7 to 11, 2026, Saturday through Wednesday. The exhibit hall opens on three of those days: Sunday 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM, then Monday and Tuesday 9:15 AM to 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM. Saturday and Wednesday are session days only.

| Day | Program | Exhibit hall | |---|---|---| | Friday, November 6 | Registration 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm | Closed | | Saturday, November 7 | Workshops 8:30 am to 12:00 pm and afternoon | Closed | | Sunday, November 8 | Opening plenary and keynote 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm | 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM | | Monday, November 9 | Scientific sessions and posters | Two windows, 7.25 hours | | Tuesday, November 10 | Scientific sessions and posters | Two windows, 7.25 hours | | Wednesday, November 11 | Closing session and keynote 11:15 am to 12:15 pm | Closed |

Exhibitors install on November 8 from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm, ahead of the Sunday opening, and dismantle on November 10 from 6:31 pm to 10:00 pm.

How does each AMIA 2026 day divide between sessions and the exhibit hall?

The AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium gives a booth 17 exhibit hall hours. Sunday runs 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM, 2.5 hours, after the 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm opening plenary. Monday's 9:15 AM to 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:30 PM windows add 7.25 hours. Tuesday repeats that split for another 7.25, and Saturday and Wednesday carry no hall time.

The daily floor-hour split shows the same arithmetic for other shows.

Where is AMIA 2026 held, and what is inside the Hilton Anatole exhibit hall?

The AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium is held at the Hilton Anatole, 2201 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, TX 75207. The hotel sits in the Market Center district just north of downtown Dallas and is a major convention and meeting facility, so the program, posters and exhibit hall share one property.

Wikipedia lists the Hilton Anatole at 1,610 guest rooms. AMIA does not publish a floor plan or hall name for 2026; the one booth number it names is Booth 314, where Career Ignite runs free career coaching.

Inside the hall, AMIA Central, the Student and Trainee Lounge and the headshot studio are open during all Expo hours. New for 2026, the AMIA Unpacked Podcast Booth records episodes live on the floor, and a 20-foot-wide Question Wall is offered as a sponsorship.

How do attendees get around the Hilton Anatole and Dallas during AMIA 2026?

Attendees at the AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium sleep, learn and network in one building: the Hilton Anatole at 2201 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, TX 75207. It sits in the Market Center district just north of downtown Dallas, and AMIA's room block is booked through the Hilton Anatole Dallas website.

For a morning outside, the Sunday AMIA Fun Run/Walk covers approximately 5 miles through Dallas and starts at 6:15 am. AMIA's 2026 pages list no airport transfer, shuttle or parking rate for the hotel, so ground transport is left to each traveller.

What does AMIA 2026 registration cost, and which pass fits?

Standard full registration for the AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium costs $1,265 for a Professional Member and $1,770 for a Non-Member, and workshops are included in pricing. Early Career Member rates are $1,010 and Student/Trainee Member rates are $760. The cheaper tiers closed with the early bird deadline on Sep. 8 and the advanced deadline on Oct. 5.

A single day is $710 for a Professional Member and $995 for a Non-Member, limited to one single day registration per attendee for the week. At standard pricing, a non-member pays $505 more than a professional member for the full program.

What cancellation, transfer and access rules apply to AMIA 2026 badges?

AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium refunds depend on the date a written request arrives: by September 29, 2026 it earned a full refund minus $75, and after October 20, 2026 no refunds are issued. Paid registrations are non-transferable to another person or another AMIA meeting. Hotel cancellations are handled separately from registration.

All accepted presenters are required to register for the conference at the speaker rate. Exhibit-only registration does not provide access to the full conference experience, including the educational sessions, and each booth comes with two complimentary exhibit-only registrations, with additional ones at $325 each.

Where should AMIA 2026 attendees stay in Dallas?

AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium attendees stay at the meeting venue itself: AMIA's room block is at the Hilton Anatole, and rooms are booked directly through the Hilton Anatole Dallas website. The block deadline was October 14, 2026, and AMIA warns that the block fills up quickly.

Staying on site keeps every session and the exhibit hall inside one building at 2201 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, TX 75207. With 1,610 guest rooms, the Anatole is a large property, though AMIA shows the group rate only behind the booking link.

Which travel dates cover the full AMIA 2026 program and the exhibit floor?

For the AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium, attendees covering the full program arrive by Friday, November 6, when registration opens 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Exhibitors arrive Saturday, November 7 to install on November 8 from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. The closing session and keynote run 11:15 am to 12:15 pm on Wednesday, November 11, so a Wednesday afternoon flight covers every session. That is 5 nights for attendees and 4 for exhibitors.

The travel window calculation applies the same dates logic to any show.

Which companies exhibit and sponsor at AMIA 2026?

The AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium exhibit hall lists more than 50 exhibitors representing industry companies, academic institutions and government agencies. Nabla is the Title Sponsor, and Abridge, Clinical Architecture, Epic, Sanofi and Suki AI are the premier sponsors. The sponsor list leans toward ambient documentation and EHR vendors.

Commercial exhibitors on the 2026 list include Doximity, Epic and InterSystems. Oracle Health and Life Sciences exhibits alongside the data network TriNetX. Verily Health and Wolters Kluwer also hold booths. Research groups such as the All of Us Research Program sit beside startups like Abridge and Brim Analytics.

Pfizer sponsors Poster Session 3 on Tuesday evening.

How large is the AMIA 2026 exhibitor list to research before Dallas?

The AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium lists more than 50 exhibitors. The online program behind them lists 600+ presentations. Across the 17 open hall hours, 2.5 plus 7.25 plus 7.25, meeting every exhibitor once works out to about 3 booths per open hour.

The exhibitor list research method turns that ratio into a pre-show list.

Who are the AMIA 2026 keynote speakers, and which sessions shape the week?

The AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium keynotes page leads with Peter Margolis, MD, PhD, and his talk What Is Doing the Learning in Learning Health Systems? James Cimino, MD, FACMI, FACP, FAMIA, of the University of Alabama at Birmingham gives the year in review keynote. Around them, the program carries 600+ presentations over 150 sessions.

AMIA's attendee page still names Kedar S. Mate and James Cimino as the two plenary speakers, so the dedicated keynotes page is the more current source. Victoria Tiase, PhD, RN, of the University of Utah chairs the Scientific Program Committee.

Three interactive poster sessions run Sunday 5:45 to 7:00 PM, Monday 5:00 to 6:30 PM and Tuesday 5:00 to 6:30 PM. Invitation-only industry roundtables include a Wolters Kluwer session on AI-Enabled Value Set Management. AMIA and HL7 also run an application competition built on the FHIR standard.

When can teams meet attendees at AMIA 2026 without competing sessions?

At the AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium, the Welcome Reception runs Sunday 4:45 to 7:00 PM, 2.25 hours. Breaks on Monday 9:15 AM to 10:00 AM and Tuesday 9:15 AM to 10:00 AM add 0.75 hours each. Poster sessions run Sunday 5:45 to 7:00 PM, Monday 5:00 to 6:30 PM and Tuesday 5:00 to 6:30 PM, with the Monday and Tuesday ones adding 1.5 hours each. In total, 6.75 hours sit outside session blocks.

The meeting window planner books conversations into those slots.

Who attends AMIA 2026, and which buyers does the audience include?

The AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium audience is informatics leadership and research: the prospectus cites more than 2,300 professionals and names Chief Medical Informatics Officers and Chief Nurse Informatics Officers among target roles. AMIA publishes no audited split by job title or employer type for 2026.

Health IT Industry Representatives and Government Agencies and Policymakers are listed too, so part of the room is vendors and regulators rather than buyers. The CME listing adds clinicians (physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists), health IT professionals and computer scientists. AMIA reached a record 6,416 members in 2025, the base this audience is drawn from.

The fit is strongest for clinical AI, terminology, analytics and research data vendors, and weakest for hospital supply or revenue cycle sales, which the program does not cover.

How many AMIA 2026 attendees are there for each exhibitor?

The AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium prospectus cites more than 2,300 healthcare informatics professionals, and the exhibit hall lists more than 50 exhibitors. Dividing 2,300 by 50 gives about 46 attendees per exhibitor, using organiser figures for both. The published segments to filter on are CMIOs, CNIOs, health system representatives and researchers.

The attendees per exhibitor targeting method sizes an account list from that ratio.

What does the AMIA Events app do at the 2026 Symposium?

The official app for the AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium is AMIA Events, published by the American Medical Informatics Association, Inc. It lets attendees access conference schedules, browse educational sessions, access handouts, check out speakers and network with informaticians. The latest App Store release is version 1.12.0.

Exhibitors get an exhibitor profile in the Annual Symposium Mobile App with company information, materials and links. The online program behind it lists 600+ presentations. One 2025 App Store reviewer wrote that during AMIA the app locked up for at least a minute trying to update.

Where does the AMIA Events app stop and exhibitor lead capture begin?

As of 3 November 2026, AMIA has not published a lead-retrieval product for the AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium, so the AMIA Events app cannot be set against a named capture tool. The app covers schedules and speakers, while AMIA's exhibitor landing pages carry a lead capture mechanism that sends user inquiries directly to the exhibitor's inbox.

What does it cost to exhibit or sponsor at AMIA 2026?

An 8 by 10 foot booth at the AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium costs $3,500 for a commercial organisation or non-member. AMIA corporate partners or members pay $2,350, and AMIA Academic Forum members pay $1,925. Each booth includes pipe and drape and an identification sign.

| Sponsorship | Price | |---|---| | Title sponsorship, exclusive | $47,500 | | Premier sponsorship | $32,500 | | Major sponsorship | $20,000 | | Industry Partner Session, thirteen available | $13,000 each | | Industry Roundtable | $13,000 each (30 participants), $15,000 each (65 participants) |

Sponsors at the higher tiers receive the attendee list one week prior to the conference, but the list will not include email addresses. Tables, chairs and other furniture are ordered through the General Service Contractor, whose name AMIA does not publish.

How many reps does an AMIA 2026 booth need for 17 floor hours?

The AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium hall is open 17 hours over 3 days, and booths are built on November 8 from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm, before the doors open. Teardown runs November 10 from 6:31 pm to 10:00 pm. B2Brain uses 31 scans per day as its productive-rep benchmark, so two reps over three days reach 2 x 3 x 31 = 186 scans.

The booth staffing calculator repeats the sum for other booth sizes.

Which lead-retrieval tool does AMIA 2026 offer exhibitors?

As of 3 November 2026, AMIA has not named a lead-retrieval vendor, device price or order deadline for the AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium. The prospectus says the Exhibitor Service Kit is available 60 days before the meeting, and that kit goes to booked exhibitors rather than the public. No organiser, prospectus or exhibit hall page reviewed names a badge-scanning product.

What can official badge capture record at AMIA 2026, and what are its limits?

No capture specification exists for the AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium because no official scanning vendor is published as of 3 November 2026. What AMIA does document is narrower: sponsor attendee lists carry names, titles, companies and mailing addresses, and the list will not include email addresses. Captured fields, export formats and per-device limits remain unpublished.

Is B2Brain an alternative to AMIA 2026 lead capture?

Whether B2Brain replaces or complements official capture at the AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium cannot be judged vendor to vendor, because AMIA has published no official tool as of 3 November 2026. The only capture route AMIA documents is the exhibitor landing page and its inquiry form, a lead capture mechanism that sends user inquiries directly to the exhibitor's inbox. B2Brain's side appears in the comparison table on this page.

Should AMIA 2026 exhibitors use the official tool, B2Brain, or both?

No decision rule can be computed for the AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium yet, since an official capture tool price and order deadline are both unpublished as of 3 November 2026. The service kit, released about 60 days before the meeting, is where AMIA places exhibitor ordering details. Until a product is named, the choice rests on B2Brain's published benchmarks alone.

What should reps record in each AMIA 2026 booth conversation?

At the AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium, useful capture fields follow the program's shape. With 600+ presentations over 150 sessions, the session that brought a visitor is the first field. With poster sessions Sunday 5:45 to 7:00 PM, Monday 5:00 to 6:30 PM and Tuesday 5:00 to 6:30 PM, the second is which of the 3 poster sessions they came from. Role comes third, against the prospectus list of CMIOs, CNIOs and health IT staff.

The capture field checklist lists the rest.

How many AMIA 2026 attendees pass a booth per floor hour?

The AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium prospectus cites more than 2,300 professionals, and more than 50 exhibitors share the floor. Over the hall's 17 open hours, 2,300 attendees is about 135 per open hour if each walked the hall once. A rep at 31 scans per productive day reaches under a quarter of one hour's traffic.

The lead quality ratio compares that traffic with booth capacity.

When should AMIA 2026 leads be followed up?

The AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium hall last closes on Tuesday at 6:30 PM, and exhibitors dismantle on November 10 from 6:31 pm to 10:00 pm. Conversion probability runs about 85% within two hours of a conversation, so the first window closes at 8:30 PM that Tuesday, November 10. The closing session runs 11:15 am to 12:15 pm on Wednesday, November 11. About 9% remains after one week, which lands on Wednesday, November 18.

The lead decay schedule dates those windows for other shows.

What does a booked meeting cost at AMIA 2026?

A commercial booth at the AMIA 2026 Annual Symposium costs $3,500, with two exhibit-only registrations included and additional ones at $325 each. Two reps across the three hall days reach 186 scans at 31 per rep-day. Half qualified is 93, and at 52% Leads-to-Meeting (LTM) against an 8% industry average that is 48 meetings, about $72 each.

The cost per meeting model adds travel and staff time.
