Next-Level Health Systems Summit: Leading with AI

About this Meeting

No doubt that AI is reshaping the healthcare landscape and it is already embedded in clinical workflows, infrastructure stacks, and executive decision-making. The question is no longer whether to adopt AI, but where it truly delivers value, where it creates friction, and how to navigate both the transformative potential and the operational realities it entails. 


Co-hosted by HLTH and Team8, this private gathering will bring together experts shaping the AI backbone of healthcare from major Health Systems, Big Tech companies and Policy representatives for a 3-hour deep-dive into the real-world impact of next-generation AI and what it actually takes to deploy it at scale inside complex, regulated care environments. 


Join senior healthcare executives, innovators, and clinicians for a focused conversation on how generative and agentic AI can be integrated into clinical and operational workflows, help navigate regulatory/ethical considerations and drive better outcomes for patients and providers. 


Participate adding your perspective on the following areas:


  • The reality check: what clinicians will accept, reject, or actively work around? How emerging AI tools are reshaping daily workflows, easing administrative strain, and redefining patient–provider interactions. 

  • The economics of AI in healthcare: How leading systems are defining ROI beyond cost savings?  Assessing real returns on efficiency, quality, and sustainability.

  • AI accountability and governance in healthcare: making AI work in the real world. As organizations adopt AI faster than regulation evolves, how leaders can establish guardrails for performance, risk, equity, and long-term value creation.
