2025 Solventum CES: It’s a small world after all

In less than two weeks, our Solventum Client Experience Summit (CES) will kick off at the Walt Disney World^® Swan and Dolphin in the Orlando area. As solvers, this is a time we look forward to each year. It’s our opportunity to bring like-minded individuals together to reimagine the future of healthcare. 

This year’s theme is “Dream. Innovate. Solve.” Hosting an event like this at the Walt Disney World^® Resort is actually quite fitting. At the very core, each of us is a dreamer. When you were younger, your dreams may have revolved around the magical princes, princesses and animals of Disney^®. As you grew older, your dreams may have gotten loftier, involving feats like making it to space or saving the world. Now, as an adult, your dreams may not be as colorful, but they are just as (if not more) powerful. They don’t just focus on saving the world – they aim to save lives.

If you’ll be joining us, make sure to pack your tennis shoes (or rather, baskets, tenis or trainers, depending upon where you call home) — the time spent at Solventum CES is fast paced. Over four days, there will be 55+ events/sessions. Whether attending a general session that’s led by an industry expert or strolling through the innovative landscape of this year’s Solver’s Expo, you’ll find you’re continually traveling from one place to the next. And the best part about it? You’re not traveling alone. Solventum CES provides a space to network with counterparts from all around the world. It could be casual talk at breakfast, sharing solutions at a session or engaging about your organization’s goals — no matter the discussion, Solventum CES is a place to forge connections.

This year, you can expect to discover the power behind connected solutions and workflows, from capture to code. Our health information systems experts will be highlighting the power of autonomous coding and how automated methods can help save resources by making short work of straightforward cases, while saving the more complex ones for coders. In addition, they’ll be showcasing how cloud migration can help facilities trade unknown timelines and unpredictable spending for improved uptime and stable costs.

I’m looking forward to seeing new and familiar faces soon. Last year’s Solver’s Expo was really a highlight for me – we had some fun, engaged with technology and even influenced the next generation of solutions. This year’s expo is poised to deliver the same. Every stop will invite you to see familiar challenges through a new lens. From AI-powered solutions that enhance coding accuracy, to next-gen tech supporting documentation integrity, you just may walk away with enough ideas to save the world. It shouldn’t be too hard, right? It is a small world, after all.

See you in sunny Florida! Safe travels.
