The GIANT Health Event 2026 is aimed at NHS clinicians, digital and transformation leads, hospital managers, commissioners, procurement professionals, researchers and health-technology innovators. It runs in person at the Business Design Centre in Islington on 7–8 December. The festival programme uses two stages on each day: the NHS National Procurement Show and Innovating NHS Systems Congress on 7 December, followed by the Future Hospital Show and NHS National AI Conference on 8 December. Published sessions cover digital procurement, value-based buying, shared care records, prevention at scale, virtual wards, community diagnostics, paperless hospital design, smart hospitals, patient flow, practical AI implementation and investment cases.
The organiser forecasts more than 3,000 participants and over 120 speakers, with exhibition halls, product demonstrations and dedicated networking areas. Four current speakers are named for the data-driven prevention session within the systems congress. The event is CPD accredited; clinicians may claim eight CPD points per day, giving 16 points across both days. NHS doctors and nurses can register free using an NHS or hospital email address. The ticket page lists an academic ticket at £50 plus VAT, early-bird business and executive tickets at £210 and £436 plus VAT until 9 October, and regular prices of £283 and £605 plus VAT from 10 October to 30 November. The event is explicitly not designed for students.
No academic abstract or research-presentation call was found. The public speaking route is a partnership application, with free speaking opportunities reserved for NHS and government leaders, so trainees seeking a poster or oral research presentation should not treat this as an abstract-submission meeting. Doors open at 09:00 according to the visiting page, with programmes running to 17:00. Angel Underground station is about four minutes away, and King’s Cross and St Pancras are a short onward journey.
