Two experts. One resolution. Plenty of fire.
Join us at HCIC 2025 for an unforgettable dinner where debate takes center stage. Over cocktails and appetizers, John Berndt (SVP, Health, Valtech) and Chris Boyer (Digital Health Strategy Consultant) will square off in a fast-paced, thought-provoking exchange around a bold proposition:
Resolved: Patient-facing AI is the fastest path to humanizing healthcare.
Our two intellectual heavyweights will trade blows over the future of AI in healthcare, tackling both the risks and the rewards it could bring:
- Getting flagged for a brain tumor at urgent care because AI misread your symptom as “serious.”
- Being routed to pediatrics for your broken toe because the bot heard “a small problem.”
- Having your therapy session derailed by a chatbot quoting Nietzsche.
Or on the flip side:
- Actually reaching the right care team before your symptoms escalate.
- Getting your meds without feeling like you’re applying for classified clearance.
- Receiving appointment reminders that account for the fact that you just had hip surgery.
Expect tension. Expect contradiction. Expect to be entertained and challenged.
What else to expect
- Private dining at one of Vegas’ most iconic venues.
- A high-energy debate format where you, the audience, decide the winner.
- Smart, opinionated conversation on the promise and pitfalls of AI in care delivery.
- Networking with digital, marketing, and IT leaders from across healthcare.
