About the Forum
Leading in AI and Digital Transformation
Every health system is investing in AI. Very few have a clear answer for which projects actually move the needle. The Becker's AI Forum was built for the C-suite leaders making that call, bringing together executives from top health systems to cut through the noise and share what's actually working.
Confirmed speakers represent leading health systems including Duke University Health System, Mayo Clinic Platform and Houston Methodist. Sessions dig into the questions every executive is asking right now, from AI hype versus real value and powering AI with the right data strategy, to strategic AI applications for the C-suite and leading change management at scale. Attendees leave with a grounded read on where AI is actually delivering results today, plus a network of fellow leaders navigating the same investment decisions.
