The Celerium team had the pleasure of attending the ViVE 2026 event in Los Angeles, CA that is co-created by HLTH and CHIME. ViVE unites health systems and payer leaders with the innovators, investors, and solution partners driving measurable transformation across digital health.
Our team members who attended were Celerium’s Chief Information Security Officer, Vince Crisler, Chief Solutions Officer, Karl Kotalik, and Healthcare Sales Executive, Kevin Harding. We were thrilled to be a part of the conversation!
Event Highlights
The ViVE26 event provided meaningful opportunities for digital health leaders across the industry.
Our CISO, Vince Crisler, and our Chief Solutions Officer, Karl Kotalik, had the opportunity to present at a CHIME Membership Focus Group at ViVE26, sharing insights and hearing directly from healthcare leaders about the challenges and innovations shaping our industry.
The topic they discussed is:
Challenges of Monitoring Clinical and Partner Distributed Systems in a Hybrid Cloud Environment

They discussed that many healthcare organizations are shifting clinical systems from on-prem to multi-cloud environments while also connecting to an increasing number of partner systems operating in hybrid clouds.
We were grateful for the thoughtful discussion, the collaboration, and the chance to contribute to meaningful progress in healthcare.
Conversations That Matter
We also established valuable networking connections and had informative conversations with some innovative Hospital IT and digital health leaders. We spoke with Strategic Account Executive Tina Balderas of the American Hospital Association about the evolving cybersecurity challenges facing healthcare organizations. We also connected with the CHIME Board Member, Carter Groome. It’s always a pleasure to discuss the future of healthcare security with leaders driving meaningful change. These candid conversations reinforced why Celerium launched our Data Breach Defender® solution to improve data breach defense for hospitals and healthcare organizations. Data Breach Defender helps organizations detect, contain, and stop breaches before they cause harm.
We also had a great time at the event’s Closing Reception. Celebrating in Los Angeles with music, food, and informative networking with many Hospital IT and digital transformation leaders.
