Where Innovation Meets Impact: Let’s Turn Gaps into Game-Changers at the 2026 IMSH R&D / Product Development Workshop

Calling all simulation innovators — past, present, and future.

After an overwhelmingly positive response to last year’s inaugural R&D / Product Development Workshop at IMSH 2025 in Orlando, the SSH Corporate Roundtable is excited to bring this dynamic, high-impact session back for IMSH 2026.

IMSH Connections is a professional development program designed to help attendees make the most of their experience at the International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare.

If you’ve been around the association world long enough, you know there’s a common thread among the healthiest organizations: strong member engagement. 

As we turn the corner toward the end of the year, it’s clear that our community’s energy and commitment continue to drive the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) forward in remarkable ways.
