2026

October 8, 2026 | Embassy Suites Albuquerque, New Mexico

HealthAI 2026 brings New Mexico healthcare leaders, policymakers, researchers, funders, innovators, and public-sector partners into one room.

The focus is practical: how AI and emerging technology can strengthen care delivery, improve access, support care teams, and help organizations make better decisions before adopting new tools.

This is a working summit for New Mexico healthcare. Leaders will compare notes, hear what peers are testing, meet partners building applied solutions, and leave with clearer next steps for their own organizations.

Proving what’s possible.

One room, all day. No concurrent breakouts — the whole audience moves through the day together, and the Innovation Showcase is woven through it. Each company presents right after the session that sets it up, so the room is already primed for what they do.

2026 Program Focus

HealthAI returns to Albuquerque for its second annual statewide summit.

The 2026 Summit builds on the momentum of our 2025 event and the work already underway through HealthInno and Health ImpACT.

HealthInno is New Mexico’s health tech innovation studio and statewide health innovation network. Health ImpACT is our state-backed innovation pilot and learning network helping New Mexico healthcare organizations set shared priorities and safely explore startup technology and new partnership models.

HealthAI is where this work comes together in person.

Leaders will spend the day focused on applied AI, care delivery, rural and community health, responsible adoption, and the partnerships needed to move from interest to action.

Speakers, sessions, and showcase details will be announced in the coming weeks and months.

What HealthAI 2026 Is About 

Healthcare organizations across New Mexico are making decisions about AI, data tools, virtual care, workforce support, and new technology partners. 

Those decisions should be grounded in care delivery, evidence, safety, and the realities of New Mexico communities. 

HealthAI 2026 is designed for that work. 

Sessions will focus on what these tools actually do, what healthcare leaders should ask before using them, what peers are learning, and how new models can support rural, tribal, frontier, and underserved urban communities. 

The Summit is not a vendor expo. It is a healthcare-led conversation about what fits, what is ready, and what New Mexico should build together. 

Sponsorship and Partnership 

Support the room where New Mexico healthcare moves from conversation to action. 

HealthAI 2026 gives sponsors a meaningful way to support New Mexico’s healthcare innovation work. 

This is not built around logo placement alone. Sponsors are part of a focused room with healthcare leaders, policymakers, researchers, funders, and innovators who are actively shaping how technology gets evaluated and adopted in New Mexico. 

Sponsors gain visibility, but the deeper value is proximity: thoughtful relationship-building, clearer market insight, and connection to the healthcare priorities shaping our state. 

Sponsorship opportunities are available for organizations that want to support responsible AI adoption, rural and community health, workforce support, and stronger pathways between healthcare organizations and applied technology partners.
