Keynote - Emerging Intelligence Systems Reshaping Healthcare in 2026
Healthcare organizations are experiencing an unprecedented rise in clinical complexity, documentation burden, and operational pressures that have long outpaced manual workflows and retrospective analytics. As clinical volumes grow and staffing shortages persist, AI and Machine Learning (ML) have moved from exploratory concepts to essential tools that improve care delivery, clinician experience, and financial performance. This session presents a forward-looking framework for the next generation of clinical AI—systems that autonomously interpret documentation, anticipate patient behavior, and forecast quality performance in real time. Attendees will learn how these innovations work together to create a new intelligence layer—that prioritizes reliability, transparency, and safety—to support clinical decisions and reduce administrative burden.

11a Break-Out #1 - Penn Medicine - A Blueprint for Ambient Listening Adoption
Discover how one organization successfully implemented ambient listening technology for ambulatory clinicians through an innovative, multipronged training and sustainment strategy. This session highlights a multimodal approach, including virtual live events, interactive web-based modules, and personalized outreach, that led to a sustained 70% adoption rate. Attendees will follow the journey from initial implementation to long-term engagement, showcasing how tailored support and strategic sustainment can transform clinical workflows and elevate care delivery.

11a Break-Out #2 - Atlantic Health - Build an Effective AI Governance Model
This session presents Atlantic Health enterprise AI Governance framework, structured as a four-pillar operational model: policy and best practices, structured AI technology oversight, AI literacy and education, and strategic portfolio management. Attendees will learn how the health system managed risks, standardized oversight, and measured value across clinical and operational AI initiatives, providing actionable strategies to move from decentralized pilots to scalable governance while supporting innovation.
