WHX Miami 2027: Dates, Venue and AI Exhibitors
If you’re planning around WHX Miami, the edition most people searched for this year, June 2026, has already happened. The next confirmed edition is WHX Miami 2027, and if you’re a clinician, hospital IT leader, or med-device buyer trying to decide whether to book travel, here’s what’s actually confirmed versus what’s still to be announced.
WHX Miami (formerly known as FIME) is the largest medical trade show in the Americas, which operated since 1991 as the premier medical device and health technology trade show in the USA-LATAM corridor before its rebrand. It now sits inside a broader global portfolio of health expos, and it’s one of the few US-based shows where AI-enabled diagnostics, digital health platforms, and traditional medical device manufacturers share the same floor.

WHX Miami 2027 Dates and Venue: What to Confirm Before You Book
The organizer’s own events page lists WHX Miami’s next run as 16-18 June 2027 at Miami Beach Convention Center, Miami, USA. That lines up with independent trade show trackers: one exhibit-planning guide for Miami’s 2027 calendar also lists WHX Miami (formerly FIME) for June 16-18, 2027 at MBCC, covering medical devices and healthcare trade for the Americas. A separate exhibitor-services page cites a slightly longer June 16-19 window, so if the exact closing day matters for your travel plans, it’s worth checking the official site closer to the date since minor date shifts aren’t unusual for large trade shows.
| Detail | WHX Miami 2026 (most recent, completed) | WHX Miami 2027 (next confirmed) |
|---|---|---|
| Dates | Wednesday, June 17 to Friday, June 19, 2026 | June 16-18, 2027 |
| Venue | Miami Beach Convention Center | Miami Beach Convention Center |

| Professional visits | More than 13,000 | Not yet published |
| Registration cost | Free for all attendees (2026 figure) | Not yet announced |
Note the last row carefully: that free-registration figure is specific to the 2026 edition. Nothing published so far confirms pricing or registration terms for 2027, so treat any number you see elsewhere online as unverified until the organizer posts it.
What AI Exhibitors Showed Up at WHX Miami 2026
Since the 2027 exhibitor list hasn’t been released yet, the best signal for what to expect is what actually happened at the most recent show. WHX Miami 2026 organizers described live product demonstrations, startup pitches, executive discussions, networking opportunities, and next-generation healthcare technologies spanning AI, robotics, diagnostics, rehabilitation, wellness, recovery, aesthetics, digital health, and patient care.
Clinical AI and Digital Health Sessions on the Future X Stage
The show’s programming leaned heavily into applied AI. Organizers said the event would explore how healthcare organizations are moving emerging technologies from concept to implementation, from predictive health and genomics to decentralized diagnostics and clinical AI. That framing is worth noting for hospital IT teams: the emphasis was implementation, not just pilot demos, which tracks with broader adoption trends we cover in our AI in Healthcare Statistics roundup.
Featured speakers included Robert Cohen, Vice President of Innovation and Technology for Orthopaedics at Stryker and Chair of AdvaMed’s Digital Health Technology Board, who joined sessions on robotics, AI, and digital health implementation across health systems.
Wellness, SportsTech and Musculoskeletal AI Platforms
With Miami preparing to host FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, the show also leaned into sports medicine crossover programming: WHX Miami 2026 spotlighted the growing intersection of healthcare, sports medicine, rehabilitation, and performance innovation, including a session on how SportsTech is redefining performance and health. Among the named exhibitors was Bodydot, an AI-powered musculoskeletal and posture assessment platform utilizing 3D sensing technology, shown alongside near-infrared therapy devices and mobility-focused wellness tech.
Startup Pitch Competition and the 2026 Xcelerate Winner
WHX Miami also runs a live startup pitch competition, Xcelerate, where founders get three minutes to pitch their solutions followed by rapid-fire questioning from expert judges before finalists compete on stage during the final round. The 2026 winner was Wink Biotherapeutics, a biotechnology and healthcare innovation company represented by Warren D. Marcus on the Future X stage. The 2025 edition was won by DermaSensor, recognized for its handheld device that uses light-based technology and artificial intelligence to help primary care physicians assess skin lesions for cancer in real time. The prize package is itself a signal of how the WHX network connects: as the 2026 Xcelerate Champion, Wink Biotherapeutics received a trip to WHX Dubai 2027, a complimentary exhibition stand at WHX Miami 2027, and participation in a mentorship program. If diagnostic AI tools like DermaSensor’s interest you, our piece on what AI in healthcare diagnosis can and can’t do yet is a useful companion read.
Who Should Attend WHX Miami and Why It’s Different From Other AI Health Events
WHX Miami’s audience skews toward device manufacturers, distributors, and buyers rather than the payer- and EHR-heavy crowd you’d see at HIMSS. It’s described as the evolution of FIME with a broader scope and global ambition, but with the same essence: the meeting point between the US and Latin American healthcare markets. Its format now goes beyond traditional devices to include digital health, biotechnology, nutrition, sustainability, and startups.
That makes it a fundamentally different kind of AI healthcare event than the US-centric conferences we cover elsewhere. If you’re comparing calendars, our guides to HIMSS’ dates, venue and AI track and the ViVE Conference’s AI programming are both more oriented toward health system IT buyers and payer-provider workflows. WHX Miami, by contrast, is closer in spirit to its sister event covered in our WHX Dubai (Arab Health) dates and AI exhibitors guide, since both sit under the same Informa Markets World Health Expo network described on the official WHX events calendar.
Registration, Pricing and What’s Still Unconfirmed for WHX Miami 2027
A few things are genuinely not public yet, and it’s worth being direct about that rather than guessing. The 2027 exhibitor list, session agenda, and registration pricing have not been published as of this writing; several trade-show trackers currently only show placeholder or “notify me” sign-up forms for the 2027 edition. If you need a budget reference point, the only verified figure available is that registration for the 2026 edition was open and free for all attendees, but that is a 2026-specific number and should not be assumed to carry over automatically.
For hospital IT teams weighing whether a trip is worth it, it helps to think about what WHX Miami is genuinely good for versus what it isn’t. It’s strong for device and diagnostics scouting, especially anything with a Latin America distribution angle, and for direct exposure to AI-enabled hardware you won’t typically see on a HIMSS or ViVE floor. It’s less useful if your priority is EHR integration, payer policy, or prior authorization workflows, topics better covered in events built around US health system IT, like those in our AI in Healthcare Conferences USA guide.
