This event provides a unified platform for all stakeholders, from policymakers and healthcare leaders to technology innovators and investors, to align on standards, share knowledge, and forge partnerships that will shape the digital health landscape for decades to come. By addressing pressing issues such as cybersecurity, workforce development, and data governance, the event goes beyond technology, tackling the real-world challenges that determine how effectively healthcare systems can innovate and adapt.

In essence, SHIMA Annual Conference & Expo 2025 is not just another event on the calendar; it is the stage where Saudi Arabia’s ambitions meet global expertise, where groundbreaking ideas become actionable strategies, and where the future of healthcare information management takes shape.
