NCQA Health Innovation 2026, the National Committee for Quality Assurance Health Innovation Summit 2026, returns to Atlanta, United States from 4 October 2026 to 7 October 2026, bringing the summit community together. The event pulls together voices from across the discipline — on stage, in the audience and in the conversations between. The annual format gives organisers time to raise the bar with every return. Credit for the smooth running goes to National Committee for Quality Assurance, who shape the programme end to end. Georgia World Congress Center provides the backdrop, with the space and facilities to match the programme.

Atlanta is more than just a backdrop for NCQA Health Innovation 2026 — it is part of the experience. The city is well practised at welcoming international visitors and large-scale gatherings. Good airport access and reliable local transit make the journey to Atlanta a low-stress one. Lodging is easy to sort in Atlanta, with everything from conference hotels to smaller stays with local flavour. Atlanta punches above its weight as a host city, cementing its status among the United States's leading event destinations.

Expect deep dives into Health Care, Health Care Industry and Health Care Quality, led by some of the most respected voices in the field. The schedule leaves room to breathe, with breaks built for the conversations that matter as much as the talks. Networking lounges and evening socials keep conversations going beyond the sessions. Expect to hear from Andrew Bindman (EVP, Chief Medical Officer, Kaiser Permanente), Alice Chen (EVP, Chief Health Officer, Centene Corporation) and Dana Erickson (President & Chief Executive Officer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of MN), and others.

It is the kind of event where a single conversation can reshape a project. NCQA Health Innovation 2026 remains a key fixture for anyone looking to stay ahead in a fast-moving field, and an edition worth marking on the calendar.
