Mark Bryan

The next disruption in healthcare design won't show up in a mood board. It's already showing up in the research. Mark Bryan, IIDA's Chief Research and Strategy Officer and one of the sharpest futurists working in the built environment today, is putting his boldest provocations on the table: outcomes you'll have to prove, buildings built to be undone and reused, care that increasingly happens far from the hospital's walls, rooms that respond before a clinician ever walks in. This is your chance to stress-test those ideas directly with him, in real time, alongside your peers in healthcare design. You'll walk away with a sharper read on what's coming for healthcare design, and a head start on the conversations your own projects are about to demand.

Join us for the announcement of our 2026 Nightingale Award winners. The program honors standout new products exhibited in this year's HCD expo hall, recognizing contributions to the healthcare built environment through product design and innovation. Next, HCD’s breakfast keynote panel will bring together a diverse group of industry leaders across architecture, engineering, interiors, and healthcare operations to dive into a topic of high relevance for the shared attendee base of HCD and the co-located International Federation of Healthcare Engineering 29th World Congress. “Industry Insights: The Evolution of Sustainability and Resiliency in Healthcare Design” will explore , at a global level, how sustainable materials, energy-efficient systems, and adaptive infrastructure can create healthcare environments that are both environmentally responsible and built to endure whatever challenges arise.
