- Next Stop: Glasgow 2026 – Health Data Forum Executive Think Tank After the success of our Global Hybrid Summit in Wales, the Health Data Forum journey continues north. This spring, we'll gather in Glasgow, Scotland, for a high-level Executive Think Tank bringing together leaders in health data, AI, and life sciences to explore real-world evidence, trusted research environments, and innovation for sustainable healthcare.

- Global Hybrid Summit 2026 – Bilbao, Euskalduna Congress Centre. The Health Data Forum Global Hybrid Summit returns in 2026, this time in Bilbao, Spain, at the iconic Euskalduna Congress Center.
A cornerstone of the Forum's global initiatives, the Summit continues to unite leaders, innovators, and policymakers to explore the transformative power of health data in shaping the future of healthcare.
Building on the focused, high-quality dialogue of previous editions, Bilbao 2026 will once again deliver meaningful interactions over mass scale — a deliberate move away from large congress formats toward curated, data-driven conversations that truly make an impact.
Join us as we continue the movement of Data First, AI Later — turning insights into action for a more connected, ethical, and intelligent health ecosystem.
