With a revamped program and a fresh accent on innovation, AAMI is kicking off its biggest conference ever for professionals working in health technology this June in Cleveland, OH.

The AAMI Exchange, as the annual conference and expo is now called, will unfold over four days, June 7–10. It will include more than 80 education sessions, with tracks on healthcare technology management (HTM), cybersecurity, sterilization, regulations and accreditation, artificial intelligence and virtual reality, clinical engineering, data analytics, and global trends.

“We’ve reimagined our conference as the Exchange because this event is all about the exchange of solutions and ideas among colleagues in health technology,” said Robert Jensen, president and CEO of AAMI. “We’re creating a dynamic and innovative space in which these professionals can come together to learn from—and challenge—one another, helping their own careers and helping to shape the future of the field.”

New Features
Several new features will make their debut at the Exchange, such as the “Xcelerator,” which will include a pitch competition for innovative ideas related to the automated support of clinical decisions, whether in the areas of artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, deep-machine learning, or automated learning. The competition is being organized in conjunction with BioEnterprise at the Global Center for Health Innovation in Cleveland.

There also will be an Internet of Things (IoT) theater on the Expo floor, where one focus will be an exploration of how to strike the right balance between opportunity and security when it comes to connected medical devices. Stryker and Symantec corporations will be among the organizations presenting at the IoT.

A new Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality (VR/AR) Theater, developed in partnership with GE Healthcare, will showcase the use of these technologies in the healthcare field, such as its for training HTM professionals.

“We’re inviting people to try on a pair of googles and see what the future holds,” said Sherrie Schulte, senior director of certification and meetings. “Throughout this conference, we want attendees to have an immersive and interactive experience that provides them with insights that enrich and empower them on the job today—and also prepares and inspires them for what’s coming in health technology.”

Noted Experts
The selection of Cleveland as the host city for the first AAMI Exchange was deliberate. Serving as home to a high concentration of hospitals and medical research centers, along with hundreds of biomedical companies, the region has health technology innovation in its DNA. That dynamic will help to shape the AAMI Exchange experience.
