Future Health Summit 2026

Ireland’s largest health industry gathering lands at the Dublin Royal Convention Centre on Golden Lane for its 2026 edition. The Future Health Summit brings together clinicians, hospital managers, pharmaceutical companies, health technology firms, and policy people for a two-day programme of talks, panels, and structured networking.

It’s the one conference that turns up reliably on the calendars of people working across the Irish health system. If you’re in healthcare in Ireland and you’re not sure whether it’s worth attending, it probably is. The programme covers system-level issues (hospital capacity, waiting lists, workforce planning), technology (AI in diagnostics, digital health records, telemedicine), and sector-specific sessions for different areas of practice.

What to expect

Two days, starting at 8am on Wednesday 27 May and running through Thursday 28 May. The Dublin Royal Convention Centre is at Golden Lane, Dublin 8, a short walk from St Stephen’s Green and well served by public transport.

The event draws speakers from across the Irish health system and from international organisations, which gives it a wider perspective than most single-sector conferences. Networking between sessions is a core part of the programme, not an afterthought.

Getting there

Golden Lane is a 5-minute walk from St Stephen’s Green Luas stop and close to multiple bus routes serving the city centre. Registration and the full programme are on the Eventbrite page; early booking is advisable as delegate numbers are capped.
