Is healthcare data finally ready for the AI revolution? We all know the frustration: fragmented data, silos that won’t talk to each other, and the persistent hum of a fax machine in a world of LLMs. Join Victoria Data Society for Vital Data Mini Con - a fast-paced, high-impact afternoon at the beautiful Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion as we dive into the future of health information.

We’re bringing together five industry experts to discuss how we move from “fragmented” to “functional”. Whether you're a data scientist, a healthcare professional, or a student, this mini-conference is designed to give you a 360-degree view of the current landscape.

We are currently finalizing our roster of experts! Our sessions will cover:

2. AI vs. Privacy: Balancing patient confidentiality with the need for AI-ready data.

3. The Silo Breakers: Real-world case studies on standardization and change management.

4. [Speaker Placeholder 1]: Topic Coming Soon

5. [Speaker Placeholder 2]: Topic Coming Soon

6. The Debate: A “Hot Takes” panel where our experts tackle the inflammatory question: “Will AI replace doctors by 2036?”
