Dr. Ashish Jha — Dean of the Brown University School of Public Health and former White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator — will deliver the opening keynote at the ConV2X Smart Technology Transformation Summit, held October 29–30, 2026, at the Historic GE Building's ILR Conference Center on Lexington Avenue in New York City.
Produced by Partners in Digital Health, the two-day executive summit carries the 2026 theme "Beyond the Pilot," shifting the conversation from proof-of-concept demos to deploying AI, telehealth, and smart technology at enterprise scale, with measurable outcomes, sustainable economics, and sound governance. Jha's keynote, "Misdiagnosed: The Real Drivers of Healthcare Costs and How to Fix Them," is billed as a data-driven challenge to conventional thinking on cost, outcomes, and what reform actually requires.
Attendance is capped at roughly 150 executives — CIOs, chief medical information officers, policymakers, clinicians, and investors — and runs under the Chatham House Rule. New this year is Venture2X, a forum pairing health-tech startups with investors and health systems. Early-bird registration is open at $299 through August 31.
