Healthcare loves a big idea. And at HLTH Europe, there will be plenty of them.
From diagnostics to digital pathways, interoperability, women’s health, GLP-1s and everything in between, Amsterdam will be packed with the people shaping what comes next. Some will be building the tools. Some will be asking the difficult questions. Some will to find their next meeting room without looking completely lost.
That’s exactly what makes HLTH Europe worth showing up for. From 15th to 18th June 2026, the event brings together healthcare leaders, innovators, clinicians, investors and tech teams for four days of big conversations, practical ideas and the kind of chance encounters that can turn into real partnerships.
We’ll be there too, asking one of the questions we think matters most right now: if healthcare is getting faster at the point of consultation, how do we make sure the whole patient pathway keeps up?
So, if you’re heading to Amsterdam this June, here are seven reasons to make HLTH Europe 2026 a firm fixture in your diary.
1. We'll be there!
Did we mention that we're attending? The Semble dream team is heading to Amsterdam and would love to see you there for a chat (and maybe indulge in a stroopwaffel or two).
As Semble continues to grow in the UK and expands further into France, we're not just growing our footprint, we're opening the door to new partnerships and new possibilities.
Whether you want to chat about the future of healthcare, pick our brains on streamlining systems, or just say hi, come and find us. CEO Christoph Lippuner, our Director of Sales, Charlie Wilyman, Senior Product Manager, Dr Jenny Williams and our Sales Engineer extraordinaire, Alex Turner, will be soaking up the sessions, taking in the energy and are ready to meet like-minded people.
This year, we're talking about configurable care orchestration for complex health workflows. In other words, the layer that helps healthcare teams coordinate care, follow pathways and keep patients moving through the system without relying on endless manual chasing.
So come and find us at booth C45. We promise good conversation and some pretty cool keepsakes. Speaking of…
2. Relive your childhood nostalgia and get your caricature drawn
Remember the mix of joy and horror of seeing yourself turned into a big-chinned cartoon on the beach as a child? This year,we’re bringing a little bit of that childhood magic to HLTH Europe with alive caricature artist at the Semble booth!
All you need to do is take a seat to get your very own caricature drawn in just a few minutes. We’ll email it straight to you afterwards, so you can keep it, share it, frame it or quietly decide it is far too accurate.
Find us at booth C45 and leave with a new LinkedIn profile picture – if you’re brave enough…
3. The Interoperability Summit is back
This year’s Interoperability Summit, ‘Too FHIR to fail? Europe’s interoperability moment of truth’, takes place on the Tuesday morning and tackles one of healthcare’s most prominent challenges?
Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) has helped spark a major shift in health data standardisation. The question now is not whether it works, but whether it can scale.
Payers are moving. Providers are weighing up what is operationally realistic. Vendors are balancing demand with delivery. Everyone can see the potential: better data exchange, faster innovation and smarter care. But making it happen will take coordinated execution.
That makes this a must-attend session for anyone thinking seriously about the infrastructure healthcare needs next. Expect expert perspectives from names like Dr. Anjali Bhagra, Mayo Clinic's Medical Director of Intelligent Automation and Benedikt von Thüngen, Founder& CEO of Sanome.
4. Women’s health gets the spotlight
We also can’t hide our excitement about the Women’s Health discussion and networking session on Thursday 18th June, where a VIC (Very Important Customer) will be leading the discussion.
Mridula Pore, CEO and co-founder of Peppy Health will be leading this with session, with Karina Vazirova, CEO of FemTech Lab and Rachel Burrell-Cook, Managing Director and Co-owner of ThreeTenSeven.
The session is designed to bring together industry leaders, policymakers and innovators to accelerate progress in women’s health, with discussion focused on closing gaps in research, care and investment . It’s exactly the kind of conversation healthcare needs more of: practical, collaborative and focused on better outcomes.
Peppy provides specialist care across all the key life stages, which makes them the ideal company to talk about this.Women’s health has spent far too long being under-researched, under-funded and under-prioritised. Sessions like this help move the conversation from “we really should do something” to “here is how we make change happen”. We’ll be there with bells on.
5. Voy is answering the big questions on GLP-1s
GLP-1s have gone from clinical treatment to cultural phenomenon. They’re talked about endlessly on social media, in headlines, at health clubs and in everyday conversations about weight, prevention, responsibility and long-term care.
The HLTH session ‘Ozempidemic: The rising tide oflowering weight’ asks whether this surge in use is sustainable, and whether it is responsible. We’re particularly interested to see another VIC takingpart: Dr Earim Chaudry, CMO and co-founder of Voy. With speakers from across digital health, publishing, weight management and investment, this feels like one of thosepanels that will get people talking long after it ends.
6. AI is everywhere, and HLTH is leaning into it
AI will be impossible to avoid at HLTH Europe 2026 – and that’s a good thing.
In fact, there’s a whole AI stage chock-a-block with talks designed to help attendees get to grips with the role AI will play in healthcare, not just in theory, but in real clinical and operational environments.
Here’s a couple we have our eye on:
L-AI-ability: Who’s responsible for AI errors?: It tackles a thorny but essential question – when AI causes harm, who is accountable? The session description warns against simply pointing the finger at “the algorithm”, and asks what real responsibility looks like in healthcare AI .
From the Ritz to the Rubble: Why implementation is the real work in AI: This session explores why building AI is often the glamorous part, while implementation, governance and safe deployment are where the hard work really begins .
That theme feels especially important this year. AI can make individual moments of care faster, but healthcare does not run on moments alone. It runs on pathways, handovers, follow-ups, referrals, decisions and coordination.
7. And yes, the networking at HLTH is still next level
HLTH Europe is not just all about the agenda, it’s also the conversations that happen between sessions.
Expect a brilliant mix of start-up founders, clinicians, operators, investors, health systems, policy people, digital health teams and the occasional person who somehow manages to look fresh after three days of back-to-back meetings.
Whether you’re swapping big ideas over coffee, comparing notes after a panel or plotting your next big partnership over a bitterballen or two (try them, it’s worth it), HLTH is where healthcare conversations move from interesting to actionable.
And if structured networking is more your thing, there are plenty of opportunities built into the event too. Come ready to meet people. Come ready to talk. And also come ready to say, “sorry, remind me where your booth is?” at least five times a day.
So, are you in?
Canals, cobbled streets, bikes everywhere and a healthcare innovation event right in the middle of it all? Amsterdam, you really are spoiling us.
HLTH Europe 2026 is set to be big, busy and full of conversations that matter. AI will be everywhere, but so will the bigger questions: how do we connect care? How do we close the gap between investment and outcomes? How do we make sure patients don’t get lost between touchpoints?
That is exactly the conversation we are coming to have.
Book your ticket, pack your comfy shoes and come and see us at booth C45. You bring your best conference energy. We’ll bring the care orchestration chat.
