From experimentation to implementation.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving from experimentation to implementation across healthcare and the life sciences. The question for leaders is no longer simply what can AI do, but where can it deliver measurable value, improve productivity, and be successfully integrated into the organization.

Join NEHEN for a practical discussion on how healthcare organizations are using AI today. Our keynote and panel will explore real-world AI applications, lessons learned from implementation, and the organizational, technical, and human challenges that can make an AI initiative succeed or stall.

Just as importantly, our speakers will address the realities of implementation, including data quality and access, system integration, security and privacy, governance, regulatory considerations, workforce adoption, and the challenge of moving promising pilots into scalable solutions.

Following the panel discussion, join us for a moderated Q&A, where attendees can engage directly with the speakers and explore key challenges and opportunities in greater depth.

What we'll cover.

Who you'll hear from.
