The Business Advancement Center for Health (BACH) will host the 6th annual Convene Conference, Building the Vision for SmartTech* for Health.
*SmartTech is broadly defined as “advancement in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and data science within the med tech space”

The conference theme this year is inspired by Minnesota's selection as a "Med Tech Hub", by the Federal Government, and we want to explore questions around how we can build towards this designation: what types of partnerships are needed, what is the role of electronic health record, how can we bring innovative ideas from lab to market, and how can we fund these innovations.

This conference is ideally suited for health sector executives and senior leaders, policy-makes, early-to-mid-stage working professionals, along with academic and industry researchers and students who are interested in the business of healthcare.
