AAMI eXchange 2026: The HTM Conference That Matters Most

AAMI eXchange is the largest conference built specifically for healthcare technology management. The 2026 edition runs May 29 to June 1 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, with 2,000+ attendees and 170+ exhibitors expected.

If you attend one HTM conference this year, this is the one.

What to expect

70+ education sessions covering cybersecurity, AI in HTM, regulatory compliance, career development, and sterile processing. AAMI designs these sessions around practical solutions, not vendor pitches.

170+ exhibitors on the expo floor, including the world’s leading medical equipment manufacturers and service providers. The expo also features an AR/VR Xperience zone, in-booth theaters, and an Innovation Hub for emerging technology.

Four full days of programming. The schedule gives enough time to attend sessions, work the expo floor, and have the hallway conversations that make conferences worthwhile.

Key topics for 2026

Cybersecurity. AAMI has been at the center of medical device cybersecurity standards. Sessions will cover the latest FDA guidance, vulnerability management programs, and how HTM departments should structure their security responsibilities.

AI in HTM. Predictive maintenance, automated work order triage, and AI-driven asset lifecycle management are moving from concept to deployment. Expect sessions and vendor demos showing real implementations.

Regulatory updates. AAMI standards directly affect how your department operates. The conference is where proposed changes get discussed before they become requirements.

Career development. The HTM workforce shortage is structural. Sessions on recruitment, retention, training pipelines, and certification prep address the problem most departments are living with daily.

Who should attend

Clinical engineering directors, biomed managers, HTM VPs, and anyone responsible for medical equipment strategy. The audience skews toward leadership and mid-career professionals. Technicians benefit from the hands-on expo content and certification prep sessions.

The ACCE Clinical Engineering Symposium runs concurrently on May 30, adding another layer of clinical engineering leadership content.
