Join us for the Newsweek AI Health Summit
New York City | 16 September 2026
AI Health Summit
The U.S. health care landscape has changed rapidly in the past 18 months. Hospitals are moving from AI exploration to deployment, regulations have tightened, and the bar for trustworthy, well validated clinical AI has risen sharply. Health leaders are juggling the fastest pace of innovation ever seen against a fragmented regulatory landscape: over 250 state-level AI bills impacting healthcare were introduced in 2025, 33 enacted in 21 states, covering topics from transparency to payer AI to clinical oversight. Amid political interest, media hype and board pressure, how can hospitals, practices and research institutions de-risk investments in their technology stack, while ensuring front-line medical practitioners keep pace in such a rapidly changing environment?
Join us in NYC for an outstanding one-day conference, to meet and hear from senior leaders working at the leading edge of AI implementation in hospital settings and the broader U.S. health care sector. Find out which technologies work, and why, and explore the realities of how artificial intelligence impacts patient outcomes.
Following the success of Newsweek's AI Impact events in New York and California, as well as the AI Impact Awards in APAC and EMEA, the AI Health Summit promises to be an exciting and informative conference for senior clinicians, technologists, executives and other leaders from across the U.S. health care landscape.
