The future of healthcare AI - on your doorstep at Here East

On Friday 21 August, Health Tech World and Teesside University London are hosting an essential in-person event just steps from your desk, and as a fellow Olympic Park worker you can join us at a special neighbour's rate.

'The future of healthcare AI: strategies, opportunities and vital insights' is a must for any professional faced with the challenges and endless possibilities of AI in health. It's the kind of room that rarely assembles in one place, and this time it's happening right here at Here East.

From 12 noon to 4pm, you'll join fellow decision-makers, innovators and leaders to take stock of where health AI stands right now, learn what's holding it back, and hear where the real breakthroughs and opportunities lie ahead. Across six sessions, speakers include Dr Sonia Szamocki, founder and CEO of 32Co, Dr James King, Chief Medical Officer at Numan, and Hugo Dragonetti of NHS London Procurement Partnership.

Between sessions, you'll have the chance to connect directly with the Health Tech World editorial team, swap perspectives with peers from across the industry, and even try your hand at defending against a live cyberattack in Teesside's state-of-the-art immersive digital suite.

No travel, no long commute home. Just walk over, spend the afternoon with some of the sharpest minds in health tech, and be back at your desk before the day's out.

As a fellow Olympic Park worker, you're eligible for a special 50% neighbour's rate, bringing your ticket down to £49.50 (usually £99).
