CALL FOR PROPOSALS • HEALTHDATACON 2026

Help shape 24 hours of global health-data conversation. HealthDataCon 2026 is inviting practical, timely and evidence-driven presentations and panel proposals from health-data professionals around the world.

FINAL DEADLINE: OCTOBER 11, 2026 • 11:59 P.M. EASTERN TIME

Designed to respect your time. Most proposals should take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. Proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis, and some program slots may be filled before the final deadline. SUBMIT A PROPOSAL

What We Are Looking For

HealthDataCon 2026 is a 24-hour live global virtual conference following the sun across three interconnected regional programs. We are seeking presentations and panels that offer substantive experience, evidence, implementation lessons, comparative perspectives, emerging practices, or important questions the field should confront next.

Strong proposals should be educational rather than promotional, relevant beyond a single organization, and useful to an international audience of health-data, informatics, technology, clinical and executive leaders.

Five Shared Pillars

DATA, INTELLIGENCE, INFORMATICS, TECHNOLOGY, IMPACT

Two Ways to Participate

Individual Presentation — 40 to 45 minutes
A focused presentation grounded in experience, evidence, implementation, research, or an important emerging issue.

Panel Discussion — 60 minutes
A moderated conversation bringing together up to three or four complementary or differing perspectives around a clearly defined issue.

The programming team may recommend a different duration or format in order to create the strongest 24-hour agenda.

What You Will Submit

• Presenter name, credentials, title, organization, country/region and email
• Proposed session title
• Primary HealthDataCon pillar
• Preferred session format
• Brief abstract — maximum 250 words
• Three concise attendee takeaways
• Why the topic matters now — maximum 100 words
• Additional speakers or panelists, if applicable
• Preferred regional block: Asia-Pacific; Europe, Middle East & Africa; Americas; or no preference
• Availability confirmation for October 15–16, 2026
• Optional supporting link or file

What Makes a Strong Proposal

• Substance over hype: real evidence, experience, implementation and measurable impact
• Practical value: ideas, frameworks, lessons or questions attendees can use
• Global relevance: perspectives that can inform professionals across regions and health systems
• Cross-disciplinary thinking: connections among data, informatics, technology, operations, policy, care and outcomes
• Editorial credibility: educational value before company or product promotion
• Human impact: a clear connection to healthcare delivery, professionals, patients or populations

Important Dates

Rolling review matters. Some program slots may be filled before the final deadline. Early submissions give the programming team more flexibility to place accepted sessions into the most appropriate regional block.

2026 and Beyond

HealthDataCon 2026 is the inaugural 24-hour global event and a proving ground for a larger, multi-day international HealthDataCon planned for the first half of 2027. A strong proposal that cannot be accommodated in October may remain under consideration for the expanded 2027 program.
