Annual Summit
Healthcare Surfaces Institute Annual Summit
Save the Date! Healthcare Surfaces Summit 2026 taking place May 5&6, 2026. Stay tuned for details on registration.
Have you ever left a conference buzzing with ideas, only to watch them fizzle out in the daily grind? This summit takes that inspiration and channels it into action!
This isn’t your typical sit-and-listen event. It’s a catalyst for real change in healthcare. Here’s what makes our summit different:
- Action-Oriented: We don’t just talk about issues – we identify and work on projects to create strategies aimed at increasing patient safety in healthcare environments.
- Collaborative Environment: Join a diverse group of healthcare experts, industry leaders, and scientists to tackle critical surface cleanability issues.
- Lasting Impact: Form working task forces that continue throughout the year, ensuring your ideas translate into real-world strategies for improvement.
Key Goals:
- Share, debate, and identify gaps and projects that address key issues
- Identify needed research projects
- Develop actionable strategies for improvement and form working task forces for the year
This summit results in the creation of several task forces that will work throughout the year to achieve the goals set and outlined in the in-person event. If you were unable to attend, but want to take part in the mission, sign up today.
Thank you to our 2025 Summit Sponsors:

The Healthcare Surfaces Institute Summit is not a singular meeting, it is not a conference, and it is not a thing. It is an ongoing dialogue between and among professionals dedicated to reaching the highest peak of safety and quality in healthcare, related to preventing illness and infection associated with contaminated healthcare surfaces.
