ITEC 2026: Where Alcove is Showcasing the Future of Care

in section

This is a big year for Alcove as we look ahead to the TSA’s fast-approaching International Technology-enabled Care Conference (ITEC) 2026. What’s in store?

Well, for the very first time, Alcove are not just attending but exhibiting and sponsoring the event! And we couldn’t be more excited to be supporting the space that brings together the people, ideas and technologies shaping the future of care.

If you’re coming to ITEC 2026, here’s why Alcove’s stand needs to be firmly on your agenda.

 

 

A first for Alcove – and a big moment for the sector

This will be Alcove’s debut as an exhibitor at ITEC, and we’re going all in. As headline sponsors, we’re excited to be showcasing how artificial intelligence, virtual care and wider care technology can support services to move beyond traditional, visit-led models of care.

Across the sector, there’s growing consensus that prevention and early intervention are essential. The real challenge is how commissioners and providers design blended or hybrid models that combine in-person support with digital TEC in a way that is scalable, sustainable, and genuinely person-centred.

At ITEC, we’ll be exploring how Virtual Care, interoperable systems and neighbourhood-based approaches can sit alongside existing services, enriching lives, supporting communities, and embedding TEC into mainstream digital care pathways rather than treating it as an add-on.

 

Day 1 – Innovation Stage Spotlight

One of the highlights of Day 1 is our Innovation Stage session (13:10–14:00), taking place as part of the workforce programme.

This session will focus on utilising AI to enhance workforces across ARC services, and emerging models of care. We’re delighted to confirm Claire Aldridge, Alcove’s Head of Client Development, as our speaker, who will bring practical insight into how AI can support frontline teams, while improving outcomes for people drawing on care.

 

Day 1 – Gala Ceremony

On Monday evening Alcove are very proud to have been shortlisted as finalists in a record-breaking FOUR award categories:

  • Innovation & Data-Driven Impact – in partnership with Yokeru & Enovation

Day 2 – Knowledge & Networking

  

On Day 2 at Zone 1 (12:40–13:25), Kerri (Alcove’s Head of Customer Success) will be host a Knowledge & Networking session, diving into the world of Virtual Care, bringing together strategic, operational and lived experience perspectives.
