Welcome to the North Carolina Chapter of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society

Introducing NC HIMSS Connect:

Pop-Up Networking Events Across North Carolina

NC HIMSS is excited to launch a new initiative for chapter members in 2026: NC HIMSS Connect —a series of small, informal pop-up networking events designed to bring our community together to connect over drinks, shared ideas, and great conversation at a local venue. We’ve heard it loud and clear: there is a strong desire to reconnect face-to-face throughout the year, share ideas, and build relationships with peers across the health IT ecosystem.

Our first pop-up, NC HIMSS Connect Wilmington, will take place on Thursday, February 12, 2026, from 5:30–7:00 PM at Front Street Brewery. This gathering will feature very laid back, open networking in a relaxed setting. This is a pay-your-own-way gathering, with food and drinks available for purchase at the venue.

This is just the beginning — the goal of NC HIMSS Connect is to host pop-up events in each region of the state throughout the year, creating more opportunities for meaningful, local connections.

On Thursday, May 7, 2026 from 4 PM ET to 8 PM ET we will host our Spring Social at TopGolf in Greensboro, NC.

This year’s theme is Shrinking Budgets, Growing Threats.  Our speaker is Jordan Rogers.

Budgets are tightening, but cybersecurity risks remain the same. The panel will explore how health systems are adapting their security programs to remain resilient, protect their infrastructure, and support patient care even in these challenging times.
