The selection spans health IT, manufacturing technology, and dental, giving software operators a focused look at where buyers in those industries will actually be gathering. Becker's Health IT and Digital Health Meeting kicks things off in Chicago on September 14, running the same week as IMTS, which means vendors with any overlap between health systems and industrial manufacturing can cover serious ground without leaving the city. AHIMA Conference in Minneapolis follows closely, drawing health information management professionals who are active buyers of clinical data and compliance tools. ADA SmileCon rounds out the fall in Indianapolis. If your pipeline includes any of these verticals and your team is already traveling in the region, this stretch of the calendar is worth planning around carefully.
