A few weeks after HCIM 2026, our Organising Committee gathered one last time to reflect on this special Swiss edition. 🇨🇭

Just as colourful sticky notes accompanied us through the early stages of shaping the vision, defining the theme, designing the programme and bringing ideas to life, they were once again at the centre of our discussions today.

As we looked back on the past days, one thing became clear: the enthusiasm of the participants, the diversity of perspectives, the richness of the encounters and the unique atmosphere made a lasting impression on all of us.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make HCIM 2026 such a memorable experience. Your energy, engagement and contributions are what made this congress truly special. 🧡

We are grateful to have shared this journey with you and are already looking forward to seeing you again at the next edition in Denmark ! 🇩🇰

What happens when we create together?

A blank wall.
Hundreds of hands.
Endless imagination.

Throughout HCIM 2026, each participant contributed something of themselves: a line, a colour or a feeling.

Together, something bigger emerged.

We are shaping the future of healthcare together. 🌈💫
