About This Event

IFHE 2026, the 29th World Congress of International Federation of Healthcare Engineering, settles into New Orleans, United States from 17 October 2026 to 20 October 2026, continuing its run as a fixture the industry plans around. The event pulls together voices from across the discipline — on stage, in the audience and in the conversations between. IFHE 2026 is held on a biennial basis. Association of Medical Facility Professionals is at the helm, and their attention to the small things is what regular attendees notice most. Ernest N. Morial Convention Center hosts, pairing practical facilities with a location that keeps attendees close to the action.

Location matters, and New Orleans delivers. It brings together the infrastructure of a major event city with the warmth of a place used to hosting guests from abroad. Between its air links and its local network, getting to and around New Orleans takes little planning. Hotels close to the venue fill up around event dates, so booking early is wise — New Orleans is a popular destination year-round. The city's restaurants, museums and atmosphere give visitors plenty to enjoy beyond the conference halls. As one of the United States's key destinations, New Orleans regularly hosts events that draw an international crowd.

Programming centres on Health Care Industry, Health Care Design, Medical Facility and Health Care, with sessions designed to surface fresh ideas and real-world insights. Roundtables, masterclasses and Q&A sessions round out the experience. Coffee breaks, lunches and socials are as much a part of the value as the sessions themselves. The show floor sits next to HCD Conference & Expo 2026, held on the same dates at Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.

Whether you come to learn, to present or to connect, the return on your time is hard to beat. Simply put, IFHE 2026 is where decision-makers, specialists and curious newcomers alike come to think, connect and get ahead.

A little planning goes a long way here: map out the sessions or stands you cannot miss before you arrive.
