WHX Tech, Informa’s dedicated platform for advancing digital health in the region, has announced an exclusive addition to its upcoming 2025 edition—a Certified Professional in Healthcare Information and Management Systems (CPHIMS®) Bootcamp and Exam in partnership with HIMSS.

Taking place from 8–10 September 2025 at Dubai World Trade Centre, WHX Tech brings together the region’s most influential digital health leaders, technology innovators, and healthcare decision-makers. The launch of the CPHIMS programme further reinforces WHX Tech’s commitment to transforming the healthcare landscape by investing in professional development and future-ready skills.

The CPHIMS certification is an internationally recognised credential that validates the expertise of professionals in healthcare information and management systems. Designed for experienced practitioners, the certification equips candidates to lead improvement in clinical outcomes by integrating IT, data, and business strategy in healthcare environments.

The Xcelerate Startup Competition will host 40 startups competing for a $50,000 equity free prize fund and direct exposure to international VCs, family offices and corporate venture arms. Curated networking and feedback sessions will help ventures secure partnerships and commercial traction across the region.

The WHX Tech offering includes a comprehensive certification package:

• HIMSS CPHIMS Review Course – a self-paced, on-demand 6-hour course aligned with exam competencies
• A two-hour onsite review session led by certified instructors immediately before the exam, covering content basics, test-taking strategies, and Q&A
• An in-person CPHIMS exam administration, conducted in a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) format – candidates must supply their own computer for the exam

As a note, all conference exam takers are required to complete the full exam application. After registration, candidates will receive an email within 5–7 business days containing a link to the application and detailed instructions. Access to the on-demand course will also be provided at that time.

To ensure proper delivery of materials and setup, registration will close on August 27, 2025.

“By hosting the CPHIMS Bootcamp and Exam onsite, WHX Tech empowers healthcare professionals in the region to validate their cross-functional capabilities at an international level,” said the WHX Tech organising team. “This initiative aligns with our mission to accelerate digital health transformation across the Middle East.”

Healthcare professionals interested in enhancing their credibility, advancing their careers, and leading digital transformation in their organsations are encouraged to apply.
