Future Health Summit explores medicine that aims to identify problems before serious symptoms appear. Its programme focuses on the connections between data, artificial intelligence and decisions about health. Healthcare professionals, researchers, technology developers and investors meet here: some want to understand the clinical value of new tools, while others are interested in how an idea becomes a working product.
The summit takes place 20–22 October 2026 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi. It is the first event in our selection, so check the current registration arrangements and programme before travelling. Future Health and the Department of Health — Abu Dhabi organise the summit.
What the discussions cover
The theme is “To Sense Is To Predict”: observation and measurement as foundations for prediction. Announced subjects include precision medicine and longevity, digital health and AI, resilient health systems, investment and life sciences. Together, they offer perspectives from clinicians, researchers and the teams developing new technology.
Professional visitors may find it helpful to choose one main question, such as using data in healthcare or taking a medical innovation from research into practice. This makes it easier to compare ideas across discussions and decide whom to meet.
Choosing your programme
Start with the official schedule and participation options. Mark the sessions that matter most to you and leave time to talk with colleagues. A busy day is easier to navigate with a few priorities than by trying to attend everything. If you represent a company, consider which partnerships or research questions are most relevant to your work.
Check what your registration includes: the programme features talks, exhibition stands and separate meetings. Consult the organiser’s current schedule for the formats you wish to attend.
Travelling to ADNEC
You can discuss your journey with Hola Taxi, whether you are leaving from an Abu Dhabi hotel or planning a separate trip from Dubai to the summit and back. Include your date, passenger count and starting address. If you arrive at DXB and check into a hotel first, describe both parts of your plan so the enquiry reflects your journey.
