About the Summit
One Day. Real Talk. Real Impact.
HealthNEXT is PulsePoint's annual gathering of the programmatic healthcare marketing community. It is not a trade show. It is not a conference hall full of booths. It is a focused, single - day event in New York City designed to surface the ideas, challenges, and innovations that are actively reshaping how healthcare brands reach and engage their audiences.
Every year, we bring together agency leaders, pharmaceutical executives, programmatic specialists, practicing healthcare providers, and marketing innovators. The format is intimate by design. The conversations are direct. The takeaways are real.
