Where Healthcare CPD and Industry Innovation Converge

The Alliance Industry Summit (AIS) is the leading event dedicated to the evolving partnership between healthcare continuing professional development (CPD) professionals and industry supporters. Each year, AIS brings together medical education leaders, industry innovators and healthcare stakeholders to explore new strategies, tackle shared challenges and advance patient care through education.

Save the Date for #AIS26!

We hope you’ll join us on Sept. 14-15 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. We have some exciting changes in store for #AIS26. First and foremost, welcome to New York City! We’re exploring a new destination as we bring this year’s theme, RISE: Redefining Impact, Strategy and Engagement in Medical Education, to life.

You can expect all the AIS traditions you know and love, paired with fresh opportunities for growth and innovation. That evolution extends beyond the program itself to the venue. Instead of hosting this premium industry event in a hotel, we’re taking AIS to where the work truly happens: a hospital.

The journey to #AIS26 begins with research through our Call for Abstracts. The abstract submission portal will open on Monday, April 6, and close on Friday, May 1.

Additional details, including registration information and housing recommendations, are coming soon.

AIS is designed for:

  • Healthcare CPD professionals looking to strengthen partnerships and deliver evidence-based, outcomes-focused education.
  • Industry supporters and medical education companies interested in aligning with best practices and showcasing their role in advancing independent medical education.

What You’ll Gain

AIS offers a mix of interactive sessions, case studies, and networking opportunities designed to equip you with practical tools and insights you can take back to your organization. Participants will:

  • Examine how trends in healthcare, technology, and regulation are reshaping CPD.
  • Learn storytelling and data strategies to show the impact of education on patient outcomes.
  • Collaborate with peers, industry partners, and stakeholders to extend educational reach.
  • Explore innovations that integrate technology and patient perspectives into learning experiences.

Celebrating Excellence

The Best in Class Outcomes Award recognizes outstanding continuing education initiatives that demonstrate measurable improvements in healthcare practice, patient care or community health. Award recipients are honored during the AIS Opening Session and gain visibility among industry peers and leaders.

Sponsorship and Exhibits

AIS is more than an educational meeting—it’s a platform for connection. Sponsors and exhibitors can engage directly with CPD decision-makers, position their brand as an industry leader and highlight their commitment to advancing healthcare education. Opportunities are available for organizations seeking visibility, lead generation or thought leadership.
