17th TMF Annual Meeting 2026
Data Powers Science: Turning Data-Driven Research into Innovation
The digital transformation of healthcare is gaining momentum. But how can we make the best possible use of health data, and what conditions are needed to turn it into tangible innovations for care and research? At the 17th TMF Annual Meeting on June 16, 2026, leading experts from academia, politics, and industry will come together. They will demonstrate how solutions for a connected and digital medicine of the future can emerge—through high-performance infrastructures, appropriate regulatory frameworks, and a learning health system.
This year, the TMF Annual Meeting will take place in Berlin with two strong partners: the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) at Charité and the German Rheumatology Research Center (DRFZ). You can look forward to high-level insights from leading scientists, interactive panels, as well as engaging tours and workshops. The venue is the Kaiserin-Friedrich-Stiftung.
A special note for the medical registry community: Following the 17th TMF Annual Congress, the TMF Health Registry Summit 2026 will take place at the same location on June 17 and 18, 2026.
We look forward to seeing you there!
