K001 – Keynote
5–6 p.m. | Thursday, July 10
Grand Ballroom D

What better way to begin the 2025 AAD Innovation Academy than with a preview of the future? Keynote speaker Zack Kass, futurist and former head of GTM at OpenAI, will share insights on how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries — health care, in particular.

With more than 15 years of experience, Kass brings a unique perspective on the transformative power of technology in health care. He will discuss how AI can create new opportunities for innovation to maximize human potential.

Kass will promote the benefits AI can have to patients — like personalized medicine — as well as physicians — such as shifting focus back to the bedside and alleviating burnout. He will also address concerns of integrating new technology into health care practice.

Following the keynote, celebrate with an evening of connection, exploration, and excitement at the Welcome Reception.
