Informa has confirmed that the next edition of WHX Tech will take place from 27–29 January 2027 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). Notably, the event will run alongside World Health Expo (WHX), bringing together global healthcare leaders in a single, high-impact setting.
Creating ‘World Healthcare Week’
By aligning WHX Tech with WHX, organisers aim to establish World Healthcare Week—a comprehensive platform dedicated to trade, innovation, and collaboration. This strategic move connects healthcare advancements with the technologies driving transformation. As a result, attendees can explore both clinical and digital innovations within the same week.
Enhanced Value for Attendees and Exhibitors
Moreover, the co-location offers significant advantages. It provides access to a broader and more senior audience, while also enabling meaningful cross-sector engagement. In addition, the format creates stronger commercial opportunities by directly linking healthcare providers, policymakers, and buyers with cutting-edge digital solutions.
Focused Platform for Digital Health Innovation
As per the press release, WHX Tech will continue to serve as a specialised hub for digital health. It will convene leaders in artificial intelligence, data, digital infrastructure, interoperability, and patient-centred innovation. At the same time, its integration with WHX ensures that discussions remain grounded in real-world healthcare challenges, procurement needs, and system-level transformation.
Seamless Experience with Distinct Identity
Furthermore, hosting both events at DWTC enhances accessibility and convenience. The shared venue allows easy navigation while maintaining the unique identity and focus of each event. This integrated approach ensures both scale and clarity for participants.
Leadership Perspective on the Integration
Lorena Diaz Palle, Event Director at Informa, emphasised that the decision aims to improve the overall experience. She noted that bringing both events together enables participants to maximise their time, expand their networks, and engage with healthcare and technology in one place. Ultimately, this integrated format delivers a more connected, efficient, and commercially valuable experience for the global healthcare community.
