Who Should Attend?
If you work in the world of health IT, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, or privacy policy, ADAPT is designed for you. Our goal is bringing together stakeholders from across the healthcare industry to converse and collaborate.

You want to develop your health data privacy strategy to reduce risk for all stakeholders in the health system. You want to support your operational and clinical leaders while protecting patient privacy and preserving your organization’s reputation.
You want to ensure that your clinical partners can leverage artificial intelligence for an improved patient experience while ensuring responsible use and minimizing risk. Leverage your knowledge and experience to help inform a realistic and practical approach to AI in healthcare that won’t threaten trust.
You want to protect the security of your organization’s information, as well as that of patients and partners. Share your on-the-ground experience in conducting security audits, preparing incident response plans, and ensuring data privacy and cybersecurity for your organization.
You want to understand the industry’s stance on potential regulations and whether they might inadvertently comprise barriers to implementation. Hear directly from policymakers and stakeholders in the business world how current regulations and legislative proposals promote or inhibit the ability to do business and maintain trust with patients and customers.
You want to have a townhall-like interaction with industry leaders and innovators to learn how (and if) legislation can promote innovation in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. Get direct input from leaders who are daily trying to navigate the patchwork of state data privacy laws and how their experience can help to improve future policymaking.
You want to find a forum where you can share the new ideas you’re exploring, learn from others who are innovating, and take back knowledge to build the next generation of trusted health IT solutions. Converse face-to-face with others who share your passion for transforming healthcare.
