AI in Health Conference 2026

The 5th annual AI in Health Conference bridges the gap between artificial intelligence and real-world health outcomes—focusing not just on what AI can do, but on what it should do to improve patient care. The conference will explore the current landscape of artificial intelligence in health and present a research-driven outlook for the future of computational health innovation. The program is designed to connect researchers and innovators with engineers, clinicians, and entrepreneurs at the forefront of AI in healthcare and public health.

The AI in Health Conference will take place on September 15-17, 2026 in Houston, TX, hosted by the Ken Kennedy Institute at Rice University. Join us for engaging presentations, technical talks, networking and poster receptions, a sponsor exhibit hall and add-on workshops. We look forward to seeing you there!
