Recharge by the Atlantic
Sunny Portugal, great food, and ocean air to clear your head and make space for new ideas.
Every attendee is a speaker
A mix of collaborative BoF sessions, roundtables, and an open mic gives everyone a chance to contribute, share what they know, and be heard.
Agenda
The detailed agenda is shared with attendees a week before the camp — we adjust it based on who's in the room.
- BoF
- Birds of a Feather — informal, self-organizing discussions where attendees propose FHIR topics and break into small groups to compare real-world implementation experience.
- Panel Discussion
- A moderated lunchtime conversation where a few FHIR practitioners debate a shared question and take questions from the room.
- Lightning Talks
- Short, open-floor talks — anyone can grab a five-minute slot to demo a FHIR project, a tool, or a hard-won implementation lesson.
- AI on FHIR Hackathon
- A full day to build AI agents on top of FHIR — form a team, prototype against real FHIR resources, and ship something by demo time.

Be in the room with FHIR's leading experts
FHIR authors, implementers, and technical leaders — all in the same room.
The topics you actually came for
No fixed agenda — attendees bring the topics. Here's the kind of thing that usually ends up on the board.
APPLY
Apply for an invitation
Eighty seats, by application. Tell us what you're building and the idea you want to test — every application is read by an FHIR architect, not a marketing team.
If it's a fit, we send a personal invitation with pricing and a payment link. We reply within five business days.
Who's in the room
- You drive tech and standards — CTO/CIO, solution architect, product or tech lead, gov-tech leader, FHIR evangelist, or working-group driver.
- Hands-on with a real FHIR project — one you're building, authoring, or running.
- Here for the tech, not the pitch — the room stays technical, so sales and marketing aren't a fit.
How you fill out the form counts — the more concrete your projects and proposed topics, the easier it is to say yes.
