What to look forward to
Independent women’s health practitioners and small-practice teams will explore practical AI uses for patient education, research, operations, and more through an expert panel and hands-on practice lab. Speakers include women’s health physicians, a PA-C, AI and security experts, and healthcare founders, with an emphasis on HIPAA, data protection, and keeping human judgment at the center.
Inside the event
Smarter support. Without the complexity. Connect. Learn. Practice at your level
WHAT COULD AI TAKE OFF YOUR PLATE?
AI can do more than answer one-off questions. Discover practical ways it can assist across your practice—from patient education and research to operations, marketing, telehealth and growth.
Start with what you have. No technology background required.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Independent practitioners, practice owners and teams from small and growing women’s health practices - whether you’re just getting started with AI or already using it.
CONNECT
Meet other independent and small-practice women’s health providers over food and conversation. Build relationships for referrals, collaboration and continued learning.
LEARN
Hear from practitioners already using AI and experts in AI, data, governance and security. Learn how to get more from tools you may already have while keeping human judgment, PHI protection, HIPAA and cybersecurity in mind.
PRACTICE
Bring your device and practice at your level. Move beyond one-time questions to create reusable AI-assisted support—from a better prompt or assistant to a simple agent or human-in-the-loop workflow.
Start small. Practice it here. Use it on Monday.
