The 2026 Nevada Health Care Forum is scheduled for October 21 at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. The statewide professional forum brings together healthcare executives, clinicians, public officials, insurers, provider organizations, policy specialists, technology practitioners, employers, and organizations that support health services in Nevada. The program examines operational and public-policy issues affecting care delivery, access, coverage, workforce management, behavioral health, and the use of emerging technology. The official schedule begins with registration, breakfast, vendor exhibits, and networking at 7:00 a.m.; formal opening remarks begin at 8:00 a.m., and the concluding reception is scheduled through 7:00 p.m.

Event overview

The published agenda combines moderated panels, individual presentations, a keynote address, vendor exhibits, and structured networking. Sessions include issues affecting provider groups; artificial intelligence in healthcare; employee disengagement and its effect on organizational performance; behavioral-health access, coverage, and care; and a discussion with healthcare-system leaders. Additional program segments address Nevada’s future healthcare plan, legislative issues shaping the industry, and perspectives from public and private organizations responsible for financing, regulating, or delivering care.

The technology component is centered on the session titled Transforming Healthcare with AI: Opportunities and Challenges. Within the wider program, that topic places artificial intelligence alongside workforce, access, clinical operations, finance, and regulation rather than treating it as a stand-alone software subject. This makes the forum relevant to technology leaders, data and analytics teams, digital-health companies, healthcare administrators, compliance personnel, and decision-makers evaluating how automated systems may affect patient services and institutional processes. The agenda also gives vendors and service organizations a setting for professional discussions with healthcare organizations and government representatives.

The event is designed as an industry and policy forum rather than a consumer health fair. Registration types, sponsor activities, exhibit access, and any restricted sessions are governed by the organizer’s current terms. Speakers and session details may change as the final program is completed, so the official event website and schedule remain the controlling sources for admission, agenda, and timing information.

History in Las Vegas

The organizer describes the Nevada Health Care Forum as building on eighteen years of programming and reports that the preceding edition drew more than 300 healthcare executives, government leaders, and industry specialists, with more than 20 presenters. The official archive documents the 2025 forum at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, while local calendar records also document earlier Las Vegas editions. The 2026 program therefore continues an established Nevada healthcare gathering in Las Vegas, though the available public material does not establish that every edition in the series used the same venue.

Location

Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino is located at 3000 Paradise Road, east of the Las Vegas Strip and adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center area. The resort includes hotel rooms, ballrooms, meeting rooms, food service, parking, and event-support facilities on one property. That arrangement allows the forum’s general program, panels, exhibits, meals, and evening reception to operate within the same resort complex. Participants should consult the organizer’s final materials for the assigned ballroom, registration desk, parking instructions, accommodation information, and any access rules for sponsor or speaker functions.

The Nevada Health Care Forum functions as a concentrated one-day review of the conditions influencing healthcare organizations across the state. Its practical focus is the intersection of policy, leadership, workforce, technology, and service delivery, supported by formal sessions and professional exchange among organizations with roles in Nevada’s healthcare system.
