Transforming the healthcare system takes innovation. The PLS Awards were created to recognize it and propel it forward. The IMPACT PLS Gala is where we do it together, in a room gathered for that purpose. Winners are unveiled, the people behind these projects are celebrated, and you meet the teams who built them. You are there to cheer on what is moving forward, in a flamboyant evening that always keeps a surprise or two in its sleeve. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

How it works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYou submit your application online. A jury then evaluates the projects and selects the two top applications in each category.

The floor goes to people in the healthcare system and the field, those who use these solutions and see their effect on the ground. The winners are announced at the IMPACT PLS Gala. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Eligibility<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

What winners receive<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWinning a PLS Award goes beyond the trophy. It is the start of a year in which the project is brought into the spotlight, then connected. A ticket to the finalists\u2019 cocktail reception on April 16 and to the gala on June 17 will be included. PLS will then showcase the 2027 winners, with video recordings, a feature article and visibility on its social media and other communication channels. \nAt PLS 2028, they will have privileged access to B2B and outreach activities, so that the connections that grow out of this visibility have a lasting effect.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

Partners Committed to Showcasing Innovation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPartnering with the IMPACT PLS Gala means linking your organization to an award category or to the entire evening. It also means supporting the development of innovation and putting your brand alongside the future of healthcare. \nYour visibility doesn\u2019t end with the evening. Before, you sit on the jury, and your brand accompanies the call for applications as well as all the promotion around the finalists and the public vote. During, your logo appears on the trophy and in the official photo, and you present your award yourself. After, your brand continues to shine alongside the winners. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The future of healthcare is being shaped here, and companies like yours help shape it.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n \t\t\t\"\"\/\t\t\t\t\t
