The UK's first national show on Health & applied AI moves beyond the hype
London, UK - The Health + AI Tech Show will bring together senior NHS leaders, regulators, life sciences innovators and technology providers for a one-day national forum focused exclusively on applied AI in healthcare and life sciences.
Taking place at Big Penny Social in London, the event is designed to cut through the noise surrounding artificial intelligence and focus instead on safe, deployable and scalable AI solutions that are already delivering real-world impact. The agenda spans clinical diagnostics, genomics and drug discovery, hospital operations, workforce optimisation and healthcare system transformation. All grounded in practical use cases rather than theoretical promise.
While AI has become a dominant theme across healthcare conferences, the Health + AI Tech Show addresses a growing gap in the market: the need for evidence based, regulation ready and operational AI that can be trusted by clinicians, adopted by health systems and justified at board and policy level.
“AI in healthcare has moved beyond the pilot phase; now the challenge is meaningful, safe deployment at scale, within the realities of regulation, workforce pressure and public trust,” said Shane Ahari-White, Editor-in-Chief of Health + AI Insiders. “This show is the first national forum designed specifically to bridge the gap between technical potential and real world delivery. Doubling down on outcomes, not experimentation.”
A national platform for NHS, life sciences and policy leaders
The Health + AI Tech Show brings together a cross section of senior decision makers from across the healthcare ecosystem, including NHS Trusts and Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), national bodies, pharmaceutical and biotech companies, and leading AI and data providers.
The programme is structured around three core summit tracks:
• Clinical AI & Diagnostics Summit, focusing on imaging, triage, decision support, AI as a Medical Device (AIaMD) and evidence generation
• Genomics, Biotech & Drug Discovery Summit, exploring AI-driven R&D, clinical trial acceleration, biomarkers and translational science
• AI in Health & Hospital Operations Summit, covering hospital flow, command centres, workforce optimisation, safety and system-wide transformation
Alongside the summits, the event will feature hands on AI workshops, practical training sessions and live demonstrations designed to help healthcare leaders move from pilots to procurement, and from proof of concept to P&L level decision making.
High profile speakers from NHS, pharma and global health
Confirmed speakers include senior leaders from across the NHS, life sciences and global health, including:
JP Bhamu (NHS Business Services Authority), Dr Zara Ghazoui (AstraZeneca), George Onisiforou (NHS England), Prof Jann Gardner (NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde), Alette Ramos Hunt (Novartis), Dr Peter Thomas (Moorfields Eye Hospital), Riccardo Calliano (GSK), Nnenna Osuji (North Middlesex University Hospital), Preethi Satheyendra (St George’s University Hospitals), Rebecca Pope (Roche), Prof Nicholas Peters (Imperial Health Impact Lab / World Economic Forum), Dr Arpit Srivastava (NICE) and Rebecca Llewellyn (NHS England).
Adding a cultural and human lens to the programme, the event will also feature Adam Kay, comedian, former doctor and author of This Is Going to Hurt, offering a candid perspective on pressure, safety and system level change in modern healthcare.
From pilots to practice
Designed for leaders who need clarity on what works today and what is ready to scale next. The Health + AI Tech Show focuses on operational reality, regulation, procurement and trust. Attendance is free for healthcare, public sector and life sciences professionals.
