Every year, we bring together the brightest minds in healthcare, technology, and business for one of the most anticipated events in the industry: HIMSCON.
As HIMAP’s flagship conference, HIMSCON serves as the leading platform where global thought leaders, healthcare executives, innovators, policymakers, and professionals converge to explore the trends, technologies, and opportunities transforming healthcare information management and healthcare IT-BPM.
For more than two decades, HIMAP has championed the Philippine Healthcare Information Management Services (HIMS) sector, positioning the country as a world-class destination for value-added healthcare services. HIMSCON reflects this mission by creating opportunities, empowering stakeholders, and strengthening the healthcare ecosystem.
HIMSCON is more than a conference. It is a dynamic experience designed to inspire collaboration, spark innovation, and build meaningful partnerships across the healthcare information management industry.
Attendees gain access to keynote presentations from global healthcare and technology leaders, expert panel discussions on emerging industry trends, and practical sessions covering artificial intelligence, automation, cybersecurity, workforce development, and healthcare compliance. The conference also offers strategic networking opportunities, exhibitor showcases, and special events that celebrate the people and organizations driving the industry forward.
From revenue cycle management and clinical support services to healthcare IT and life sciences, HIMSCON highlights the full breadth of the Philippine HIMS sector’s capabilities.
The Philippine healthcare information management industry remains one of the country’s strongest and fastest-growing sectors. It employs more than 180,000 professionals and generates nearly US$4 billion in annual revenue. By 2028, the industry aims to create 285,000 jobs and contribute US$6.7 billion to the Philippine economy.
HIMSCON plays a critical role in advancing this vision by bringing together stakeholders from industry, government, academe, and global markets to discuss the ideas and strategies that will shape the next era of growth.
Key topics often explored during the conference include:
- Generative AI and healthcare transformation
- Workforce development and the Philippine skills framework
- Data privacy, compliance, and cybersecurity
- Digital health and interoperability
- Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO)
- Global healthcare trends and investment opportunities
What makes HIMSCON truly unique is the community it brings together. The conference attracts CEOs, operations and technology leaders, human resources professionals, government officials, academic institutions, technology partners, and aspiring healthcare professionals.
These diverse stakeholders come together to exchange insights, form partnerships, and strengthen the Philippines’ position as a global leader in healthcare information management.
HIMSCON is also a celebration of excellence, innovation, and community. Through recognition programs, fellowship events, and special activities such as Hymns of HIMS, the conference showcases the talent, creativity, and passion that define the Philippine healthcare IT-BPM industry.
