Vps Quality Summit & User Conference 2026 took place October 8–10, 2026.

Vps Quality Summit & User Conference 2026 was held at Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center in Aurora, Colorado.

PICU physicians, researchers, critical care nurses, respiratory therapists, hospital quality leaders, and improvement professionals were the intended attendees.

The conference was scheduled to include 45 speakers over 2.5 days.

It suited PICU physicians, critical care nurses, respiratory therapists and quality leaders whose units work with the Virtual Pediatric Systems data, since the 45 speakers across 2.5 days were scheduled alongside a poster session and keynotes from a Children's Hospital Colorado informatics faculty member and a former hospital chief operating officer. The first-time CME and nursing credits, totalling 13.75 nursing contact hours, added practical value for clinicians who needed them, while adult-care staff or vendors seeking a broad buyer crowd would have found the audience narrow and pediatric-specific.

Clinicians and quality professionals at hospital conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks, blouses or collared shirts, with a layer for cool meeting rooms. Aurora, Colorado in October can be chilly in the evening, so a light jacket suited the welcome reception.
