At HCIC26

Our agenda will feature healthcare digital marketing and senior digital health leaders from both public and private sectors, offering multiple session formats including panel discussions, presentations, case studies, and more.

HCIC attendees would love to learn from you. Over the years, we have found that the best educational experiences come from a robust sharing of each other’s experiences, debating ideas and sharing solutions.

Receiving a Response

We receive hundreds of speaker submissions and our team takes time to review each and every submission. We aim to respond to all submissions within 8 to 10 weeks after the application closes, however, we appreciate your patience if it takes longer. We will respond to everyone.

 

Cancellation of Confirmed Speakers

We take confirmations seriously. If a confirmed speaker cancels at the last minute, we unfortunately will not be able to work with that individual for future events. We do understand emergencies happen and we will evaluate on a case by case basis.
