Registration is officially open for the 2026 North Carolina Biomedical Association (NCBA) Symposium, one of the longest-running and most established events in the healthcare technology management (HTM) industry.
The three-day event is scheduled for August 17-19, 2026, and will take place at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino and Resort in Cherokee, North Carolina.
Organizers say this year’s symposium will feature a strong lineup of speakers and educational sessions designed for professionals at all experience levels. Attendees can expect a mix of hands-on training opportunities and expert-led instruction, with a deliberate focus on practical learning.
The annual symposium, now in its 48th year, has built a reputation as a key regional gathering for biomeds, HTM leaders and vendors. The event typically includes technical and management tracks, networking opportunities, and a large vendor exhibition hall that features dozens of exhibitors.
The 2026 education program spans a wide range of timely and practical topics, including emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence in healthcare, project management, and biomedical applications, alongside hands-on technical training in areas like anesthesia systems, CT and MRI servicing, ultrasound maintenance, and patient monitoring networks. Sessions also address leadership development, compliance and risk management, HTM department performance, and operational strategy, giving attendees opportunities to build both technical and managerial skill sets.
In addition to education sessions, the event will include a golf tournament, social activities, and an exhibit hall designed to foster collaboration between clinicians, technicians and industry partners. Vendor booth space is expected to sell out quickly, with organizers encouraging early registration.
Affordable pricing continues to be a hallmark of the event, with registration historically set to make attendance accessible for departments and students alike.
With nearly five decades of history, the NCBA Symposium remains a cornerstone event for the HTM community in the Carolinas and beyond, offering a blend of education, networking and industry engagement.
