The theme of the 2026 ACMI retreat is the Intersection of Academia & Industry focused on improving academia-industry relationships and engagements, and how the academic informatics world might adapt to a world full of innovative health IT industry — AI and otherwise. Informatics expertise is more in demand and more broadly influential than ever before; at the same time, changes in funding environments, policy, and the dominance of commercial EHRs and other platforms require some new ways of thinking, if we are to leverage the excellence of the ACMI/AMIA community to its greatest and most successful position. ACMI fellows will exchange thoughts, problems, and opportunities on this theme at the Retreat.
Preliminary topics include understanding academic/industry priorities, procedures, and needs; modes of engagement, collaboration and support; how academic informatics training might change to better help students and fellows who might want careers in industry; and more.
