The HTAi AM26 Rapporteur Reflections were established to create meaningful opportunities for participants to engage with the Annual Meeting’s scientific program beyond attendance. Through structured observation, reflection, and knowledge sharing, rapporteurs examine the broader conversations emerging across the meeting, identifying key themes, insights, areas of consensus, and points of debate. Rather than focusing solely on individual presentations, they consider how ideas connect across sessions and contribute to broader discussions within the global health technology assessment (HTA) community.

The reports provide a structured way to capture and share knowledge from the Annual Meeting, connecting engagement with the scientific program to post-meeting reflection and knowledge dissemination. They also create a platform for emerging voices within HTAi, bringing forward perspectives and interpretations that may not otherwise have a dedicated place within the formal scientific program. By giving participants an opportunity to reflect on the ideas shaping the field and contribute their own observations, the reports broaden the conversation and highlight the range of perspectives contributing to the future of HTA.

Together, the reports extend the value of the Annual Meeting beyond the event itself, capturing not only what was discussed, but how participants engaged with and interpreted the conversations shaping the HTA community.
