Where Healthcare Leaders and AI Innovators Connect

AI is moving rapidly from experimentation into the real world of healthcare.

It is changing how care is delivered, how clinicians work, how medical devices are developed, how health plans operate, how health systems use data, and how we think about access, equity, trust, and the future of the healthcare workforce.

The question is no longer simply “What can AI do?”

It is:

How do we make AI work for healthcare—and for the people healthcare serves?

Join HealthcareMN for its 3rd Annual AI in Healthcare Forum, bringing together healthcare leaders, clinicians, researchers, innovators, entrepreneurs, startups, investors, policymakers, technologists, and community voices for a full day of ideas, real-world lessons, connections, and experiences.

Our goal is simple: bring the right people into the room to move healthcare AI forward—responsibly, practically, and together.

A day designed around six experiences

INSPIRE — Big Ideas. Bold Leadership. Shared Vision.
Start the day with visionary conversations about what an AI-enabled healthcare future could look like—and what Minnesota's role can be.

EXPLORE — Trust, Policy & Real-World Lessons.
Go beyond the hype and examine responsible AI, governance, FDA, reimbursement, procurement, transparency, and what healthcare organizations are learning on the ground.

CONNECT — Meet the People. Discover Innovation.
Explore emerging companies, meet founders and investors, connect with university innovators, and hear the patient and caregiver perspective.

EXPLORE — Go Deeper.
Choose from six focused conversations across clinical care, MedTech, health plans, precision medicine, rural and community health, and data governance.

EXPERIENCE — See AI in Action.
Watch working technologies and real healthcare applications come to life in our AI Demo Theater.

ENVISION — Looking Beyond Today.
Close the day by asking a bigger question: Where does Minnesota's healthcare AI ecosystem go from here?

And then CONNECT again—because the most important conversations often begin after the formal program ends.

Come to meet the people building it.
Come to ask the hard questions.
Come to help shape what happens next.
