AI Summit

Monday, April 13, 2026 

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the future of healthcare, but success depends on how leaders act today. The Becker's AI Summit will bring together hospital and health system executives for an immersive day of case studies, peer-to-peer discussions, and candid panels designed to move beyond hype into execution. Leaders will hear directly from their peers on what's working, where adoption stalls, and how to leverage AI as a true driver of financial survival, workforce resilience and long-term growth. 

This summit is designed for executives who want more than buzzwords - it's for leaders committed to building AI strategies that safeguard financial sustainability, improve care delivery, and position their organization to thrive in the years ahead.
