DHN – 2nd International Conference on Digital Health Innovations and Advanced Nursing Practice (DHN 2027)

Dates: April 22–23, 2027
Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
Format: Hybrid format (in-person + virtual participation)
Theme: Innovating Nursing Practice Through Digital Health

DHN 2027 is positioned as an international scientific and practitioner-focused conference that connects digital health innovations with advanced nursing practice. The event’s stated objective is to advance patient-centered care through transformative technologies, innovative care models, and integrative, evidence-based approaches within the evolving healthcare and health/social care ecosystem. The program messaging emphasizes advances aligned with evidence-based, person-centered, and increasingly predictive/participatory precision medicine concepts (P5M), with attention to interoperability and integration in complex, multi-disciplinary healthcare systems (including references to integration/interoperability frameworks).

1) Who attends (BUYERS / ATTENDEES)

DHN 2027 is not only a “conference audience”; it is a convergence point for academic research, clinical practice, and applied healthcare technology. For attendee-list research and buyer research purposes, we typically segment the audience into scientific contributors and decision-influencing buyers—people who influence budgets, vendor selection, partnerships, training adoption, and implementation roadmaps.

A. Core attendee groups (high probability)

• Researchers & scholars in digital health, health informatics, nursing science, clinical informatics, and related interdisciplinary fields.
• Clinicians and nursing leaders focused on advanced nursing practice, clinical decision support, patient safety, care coordination, and digital workflows.
• Academicians and educators in nursing schools, universities, and health science programs that incorporate digital health training into curricula.
• Students & emerging professionals (the event page text explicitly indicates students participate).
• Technology and healthcare innovation professionals such as product strategists, platform owners, informatics managers, and implementation leads.

B. Likely buyer/influencer segments (decision influence)

• Heads of nursing / advanced practice leaders and directors responsible for modernizing nursing practice and care pathways.
• Clinical informatics leaders (e.g., nursing informatics, health IT leadership, interoperability leadership).
• Digital health program owners responsible for deploying telehealth, remote monitoring, patient engagement platforms, or care navigation tools.
• Academic program directors who evaluate education partnerships, training platforms, and digital learning solutions for nursing programs.
• Quality & safety leaders looking for digital solutions aligned with evidence-based practice, clinical governance, and patient outcomes.
• Innovation and transformation officers in hospitals/health systems managing care delivery modernization.

In short, DHN 2027’s “buyer” layer is most plausibly found among nursing leadership, nursing informatics and digital care leaders, health IT transformation, and academic nursing education leadership, alongside research-active organizations that partner for trials and implementation.

2) Where the show is happening + attendee geographic origin

Venue city & country

Amsterdam, Netherlands (conference dates: April 22–23, 2027). The event is described as hybrid, which increases global reach beyond the host country.

Attendee geographic origin (reasoned expectation)

Because the conference is presented as an international gathering and explicitly mentions scholars, researchers, academicians, and students “from around the globe,” the attendee geography is expected to include:

• Europe-based participation as a baseline (especially because the event is hosted in Amsterdam).
• Global participation via hybrid attendance—researchers and clinicians can join remotely from multiple regions, increasing “outside Europe” representation.
• International nursing and digital health communities (e.g., health informatics and advanced practice networks tend to be transnational and collaborative).

For buyer research targeting, the strongest expected mix is typically: Netherlands + wider EU + UK + North America + selected Asia-Pacific (with remote attendance expanding the footprint).

3) Audience reach (Local / National / Global)

DHN 2027 should be treated as a Global / International reach event with a strong European core. Even though the in-person hub is Amsterdam, the stated hybrid format and international speaker/participant framing strongly support global audience reach.

Classification for planning purposes:

• Local: Netherlands (in-person draw + regional academic/clinical participation)
• Regional/National (EU): Strong cross-border EU engagement
• Global: Hybrid attendance enabling worldwide participation

4) Sample buyer company names (BUYERS ONLY) + Websites

Below are buyer-aligned examples to use as initial outreach targets for roles that match the event’s positioning (digital health platforms, nursing informatics, clinical informatics, health education, telehealth/remote care, interoperability, and care delivery transformation). Note: These are sample targets to accelerate your research workflow; final buyer fit should be confirmed against your specific client product use case.

Best initial “buyer shortlist” to send first (top 5 from above):
Epic Systems, Oracle Health (Cerner), GE HealthCare, Siemens Healthineers, Philips.

To finalize this buyer set with higher accuracy, we will align the titles with your client’s exact product category (clinical informatics, telehealth, nursing education, interoperability/integration, remote monitoring, or research platforms).

B. Industries & event type

DHN 2027 blends digital health, health informatics, and advanced nursing practice with a strong research/education layer.

• Event type: International conference (hybrid), scientific sessions, innovation-focused agenda, nursing practice modernization, and digital solutions showcase/engagement (exhibitor/sponsor ecosystem typically present).
• Industries to map: Health technology, health informatics, hospital & healthcare systems, nursing education, clinical training, interoperability/integration, and digital care delivery services.

6) Estimated attendance (expected total footfall)

The provided official page content confirms the conference dates, location, and hybrid format, but it does not state a specific attendance number or exhibitor/sponsor count. Therefore, we will treat “estimated attendance” as unknown from the primary source text and keep it as a research placeholder pending your confirmation of conference scale (e.g., prior-year totals, exhibitor count, or registration caps).

Working approach for our research: we estimate total footfall using a combination of conference size signals (international positioning, hybrid participation, and typical exhibitor/sponsor engagement), then validate the estimate using any available “past event” data if you share it.

Status: Estimated total attendance will be provided once we confirm your target depth (buyers-only list density vs. broader attendee reach).

7) Key focus areas & buyer engagement
