Another AI Conference? No.

You’ve heard the keynotes about AI’s potential. You’ve seen the vendor demos. You’ve collected the case studies. But you still don’t know how to actually implement AI in your resident journey.

What if you could build AI solutions during the conference?

What if AI matched you with peers solving the same customer journey challenges? What if you had expert guidance to create actual AI tools? What if you left with working prototypes, not just PowerPoints?

Welcome to the Innovation Sandbox—where AI meets the customer journey.
