Lunch With Leaders

Thursday | April 9, 2026 | 11:30 – 13:00

AI has the potential to transform not only clinical care but also medical research, and with it the career paths of those working in medical image analysis. Lunch with Leaders is an informal networking event designed to connect participants with leaders in the community and explore how AI may reshape healthcare, research, and professional opportunities in the coming years. Panelists will share perspectives on skills that may be valuable in a rapidly evolving field, areas where the community may be over-indexing on AI, and emerging directions for growth and impact.

Join us for an open and informal conversation about diverse career pathways in the age of AI.
