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

What better way to officially begin the fourth annual AAD Innovation Academy than with a preview of the future? Keynote speaker Zack Kass, futurist and former head of GTM at OpenAI, will give an insightful presentation 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 share how AI has the potential to create new opportunities for innovation to maximize human potential. Kass will also examine the benefits and concerns of integrating AI into dermatology practice.

Following tonight’s keynote address, celebrate with an evening of connection, exploration, and excitement at the Welcome Reception, taking place in the Experience Hub from 6–7:30 p.m.
