What is CONNECT?
Where the Rhapsody
community comes together
Connect is Rhapsody’s developer conference, a focused event for the people connecting healthcare. Built for integration builders, it delivers deep technical learning, practical AI advantage, real-world solutions from peers, and direct access to experts. Before the conference, two days of hands-on education and technical training across Rhapsody products help teams build skills and get more from their environments, faster. An executive track for C-level and senior leaders rounds out the program—focused on emerging challenges, the impact of AI and interoperability, and building a clear path forward.
