The Mid-Atlantic Cloud Summit 

“Empowering Healthcare Transformation Through Cloud Innovation”

We are excited to announce the inaugural Mid-Atlantic Cloud Summit to be held February 5th & 6th, 2026 in Virginia Beach, Virginia hosted by Sentara Healthcare and OptaFi.  It will be focused on content, challenges, experiences and best practices for moving healthcare networks to the cloud.

Summit highlights include:

• Showcase the art of the possible (Cloud in Action, Cloud Operations, ARB, Cost Management and how our cloud is fueling our AI initiatives).
• Business case development, C-Suite buy in, cost reduction and avoidance strategies.
• Enhance cyber security and resiliency, while remaining compliant.
• A personal playbook “blueprint” that will work best to help you achieve your specific cloud and AI goals with focused workshops to address your needs.

The interactive, inclusive and engaging sessions will be facilitated by experts in their particular domain (before, during, and after cloud transition) as well as other ancillary topics. Attendees will also have the benefit of:

• Experience – See it LIVE in workshop style to include real time exposure to system views and live reporting
