ViVE Conference 2027: Dates, Venue and What’s Confirmed So Far

ViVE 2027 takes place March 14-17 at Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee. That’s a change of city: the 2026 edition ran in Los Angeles, and organizers are now moving the event to Nashville, which they describe as “a hub for healthcare innovation.” The show is co-created by HLTH and CHIME, and it’s built around the operational and technology side of running a health system rather than clinical research or biotech.

If you’re weighing whether to book travel now, the short answer is: dates and venue are locked and published on the official site, but the detailed 2027 session grid and full AI track lineup have not been released yet. Everything below on the AI track is grounded in what actually happened at ViVE 2026 in February, since that’s the most recent evidence of how this event programs artificial intelligence content, plus what’s already confirmed for 2027 logistics.

Who Organizes ViVE 2027 and Why the City Changed

ViVE is co-created by HLTH and CHIME, uniting health system and payer leaders with the innovators, investors, and solution partners driving digital health transformation. CHIME (the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives) brings the CIO, CTO, and CMIO audience; HLTH brings the broader event production and investor network. That combination is why ViVE reads differently than a pure trade show: a large share of programming is aimed at people who actually buy and deploy technology inside hospitals and health plans, not just vendors demoing products.

The move to Nashville follows a pattern of ViVE rotating host cities. The 2026 edition, held in Los Angeles from February 22-25, was described by Chief Healthcare Executive as “the fifth ViVE conference,” which puts the 2027 Nashville edition on track to be the sixth. Nashville itself is a deliberate choice: the city has a dense concentration of hospital operating companies and health tech firms, which organizers are already positioning as relevant to attendees evaluating expansion or pilot partnerships.

What the ViVE 2026 AI Track Actually Looked Like

Since the 2027 session catalog isn’t public yet, the clearest signal for what to expect comes from ViVE 2026, where AI dominated the floor. Rich Scarfo, president of HLTH, told Chief Healthcare Executive that “the area on the floor for AI is about, I would say, twice the size of last year.” He noted the conference would highlight AI, cybersecurity and interoperability as the three anchor themes.

Agentic AI Moved From Pilot to Operational Rollout

UiPath announced agentic AI solutions for healthcare providers and payers at ViVE 2026, aimed at medical records summarization, claim denial prevention, and prior authorization. If you’ve followed our coverage of AI in prior authorization, this is the same trend showing up on a bigger stage: automation vendors are pitching AI agents that touch claims and documentation directly rather than just flagging issues for a human to review.

Clinical AI Governance and “Shadow AI” Became a Headline Concern

A recurring theme across multiple ViVE 2026 recaps was governance. Wolters Kluwer’s team said the event underscored that AI only matters if it can be trusted, and if it shows up in the places clinicians already work, and flagged the need to counter “shadow AI” with clinically validated tools amid rising concern about governance, safety, and accuracy. That concern lines up with what we’ve written about in the real risks of AI in healthcare: unmanaged tools showing up inside clinical workflows without oversight are a bigger operational problem than headline-grabbing hallucination rates.

Mental Health and Patient Access AI Tools Got Floor Time

Beyond documentation and claims, ViVE 2026 featured targeted clinical use cases. Wonder Sciences announced the pilot launch of WonderMate, a therapist and clinical support tool that builds longitudinal care plans and includes real-time safety monitoring with human providers able to escalate cases of distress. Separately, patient communication vendors demonstrated agentic AI for automating calls and messaging across access points, a theme we’ve also tracked in our look at AI patient engagement tools and what they actually do.

How the ViVE 2027 Registration Tiers Break Down

As of publication, ViVE has not released 2027 registration pricing. The event’s FAQ states pricing is “not available yet” and to check back for updates. What is confirmed: a Startup rate exists for companies founded within the last 4 years with under $8 million raised, and group discounts are available for organizations registering 5 or more attendees. For current pricing, check the official ViVE registration page directly before budgeting.

One practical note for budgeting: ViVE does not offer show floor-only or partial attendance rates, and discounts aren’t applied retroactively, so it’s worth locking in the early rate rather than waiting.

Who Should Attend ViVE 2027 for the AI Track Specifically

ViVE’s own positioning is aimed squarely at health system CIOs, CDOs, CMIOs, and other digital health executives, alongside the technology partners, payers, investors, and policymakers they work with. If your job involves evaluating AI vendors, building governance policy for clinical AI tools, or negotiating interoperability contracts, this is a more targeted audience than a general health IT trade show. That’s also why the event is structured around 1:1 matchmaking programs like Provider & Payer Connect, rather than purely open exhibit hours.

Clinicians attending for AI-specific content should expect coverage that overlaps with what we’ve documented in AI in healthcare diagnosis: what it can and can’t do yet and generative AI in healthcare: real examples and limits, since ViVE’s AI programming leans heavily toward deployed, evidence-based tools rather than experimental research.

How ViVE 2027 Compares to Other Health IT AI Conferences

ViVE sits alongside a growing calendar of health IT events with AI programming. If Nashville in March doesn’t fit your travel budget or schedule, our guide to AI in healthcare conferences USA: dates, venues and who should attend rounds up alternatives across the year, and our AI Con USA recap covers a different angle on the same AI-in-healthcare conversation. For readers outside North America, our coverage of WHX Dubai (Arab Health) 2027 tracks the equivalent Gulf region event and its AI exhibitor floor.

The honest tradeoff with ViVE is scale versus focus. It’s smaller and more curated than HIMSS, which means less noise but also fewer sessions overall if you’re trying to sample the widest possible range of AI vendors in one trip.

FAQ

When is ViVE 2027 and where is it held?

ViVE 2027 runs March 14-17, 2027 at the Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee. The event is co-created by HLTH and CHIME, moving from its 2026 location in Los Angeles.

How much does it cost to attend ViVE 2027?

ViVE has not yet announced 2027 pricing. Its FAQ states pricing is “not available yet” — check the official registration page for current rates once released. A reduced Startup rate is confirmed to exist for companies founded within the last 4 years with under $8 million raised, and group discounts apply for 5+ attendees.

What AI topics does ViVE cover?

ViVE’s programming covers AI, cybersecurity, diagnostics, and interoperability, and the 2026 edition featured agentic AI for claims and documentation, clinical AI governance debates around “shadow AI,” and targeted mental health AI tools. The full 2027 session list has not been published yet, but the topic areas are unlikely to shift dramatically.

How is ViVE different from HIMSS or other health IT conferences?

ViVE is built specifically around the digital transformation of health systems, rather than covering the entire healthcare ecosystem the way larger conferences do. Its agenda and matchmaking programs are centered on the technology leaders and vendors solving interoperability, cybersecurity, and AI adoption challenges inside health systems and payer organizations.
