SUMMARY:AI and the Future of Healthcare (Panel)
DESCRIPTION:🚨 [REGISTER ON LUMA](https://luma.com/7foh0akk) 🚨 \nWill we even need doctors in five years\, or are we watching the birth of something radically new? This panel confronts the rapid rise of AI in medicine\, from AI-led diagnosis and robotic healing to empowered patients disrupting care models. \nBringing together an AI ethicist\, a cancer patient innovating with digital tools\, and a physician shaping future medical education\, the session explores whether artificial intelligence will make the doctor extinct—or challenge clinicians\, patients\, and technologists to invent a more compassionate\, intelligent partnership for tomorrow’s healthcare. \n**Panelists:**\n**Arpi Chalian\, MD**\n*Founder\, Chalian Consulting*\nDr. Arpi Chalian is dual board-certified in Pediatrics and Clinical Informatics. She drives healthcare transformation through digital innovation and AI\, advising startups and institutions such as Caltech’s Merkin Institute. \n**Burt Rosen**\n*Director Marketing Innovations at Oregon State University*\n*A guy with two types of cancer*\nBurt Rosen was diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and renal cell carcinoma. Burt brings AI into his care\, using it to track labs\, understand imaging\, and make better decisions. \n**Janet Johnson\, Moderator**\n*Founder\, AI Governance Group*\nJanet Johnson is Founder of the AI Governance Group and an adjunct professor at Portland State University. Specializing in AI ethics and strategic risk management\, she guides organizations to harness AI responsibly \n**Special thanks to our event sponsor: [Boomi](boomi.com)**\n*In 2026\, the promise of AI in medicine—predictive diagnostics\, robotic care\, and personalized patient pathways—has collided with the reality of fragmented\, legacy-bound data. Healthcare organizations are shifting from “AI pilots” to “AI-at-scale\,” and they are discovering that **AI is only as good as the data feeding it.** Boomi serves as the essential **”Architecture of Trust\,”** providing the unified integration\, automation\, and governance layer that transforms raw\, siloed clinical and financial data into “activated\,” AI-ready intelligence.* \n*Boomi\, the leader in AI-driven automation\, enables organizations worldwide to connect everything\, automate processes\, and accelerate outcomes. The Boomi Enterprise Platform – including Boomi Agentstudio – unifies integration and automation along with data\, API\, and AI agent management\, in a single\, comprehensive solution. Trusted by over 23\,000 customers and supported by a network of 800+ partners\, Boomi is driving agentic transformation — helping enterprises of all sizes achieve agility\, efficiency\, and innovation at scale.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn: Formation and Licensing: What Founders Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Launching a life sciences company requires more than a breakthrough idea—it demands building the right corporate foundation from day one. In this Virtual Lunch & Learn session\, aspiring founders will gain practical\, actionable insight into two core pillars of early‑stage biotech company formation. First\, we will cover why corporate formation matters and what founders need to get right early on: choosing the appropriate corporate structure\, properly issuing founder equity\, creating and maintaining a clean cap table\, establishing a functional board of directors\, and preparing for future financing. These elements are essential for attracting investors\, protecting founder ownership\, and avoiding preventable legal and operational pitfalls.\n\nSecond\, attendees will learn what to expect when in‑licensing foundational intellectual property from a university\, academic medical center\, or research institution—the critical step that often enables company formation in life sciences. We will demystify the tech transfer process\, discuss typical economic and diligence terms\, and highlight common negotiation and operational considerations so founders understand both the opportunities and obligations that come with licensing core IP. Whether you are preparing to launch your first venture or exploring commercial pathways for your science\, this session will provide clarity\, context\, and confidence as you take the next steps on your entrepreneurial journey.\nTags: biotech\, entrepreneur\, funding\, networking\, science\, startup\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482519

SUMMARY:Co-creAIt\, an unconference about human/AI collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Co-creAIt is an unconference about Humans and Generative AI collaborating at work. The event is for brand-side digital leaders\, agencies\, consultants\, developers\, and other creative professionals. The event is presented by the Digital Strategy Exchange.\n\nAs an unconference\, there are no speakers or panelists (you’ve probably heard a lot from several AI experts already). INSTEAD\, each attendee is an equal participant in the various topic discussions\, which the attendees decide on together at the start of the event.  It’s the most interactive and collaborative event type.\n\nNOTE: Each attendee will get a box lunch at the event.\n\n\nTESTIMONIAL from Co-creAIt 2025 attendee:\n\n"Having never attended an “unconference” before\, Co-CreAIt was a breath of fresh air. It brought together a mix of AI-curious folks—technologists\, filmmakers\, and business leaders across a wide range of industries and skill levels. Everyone felt genuinely welcome. The format felt laid-back and fluid\, unlike a typically rigid event. I met some really interesting people and left inspired. It’s exciting to see a community like this starting to take shape in Portland. Looking forward to the next one!"\n\nGarett Stenson\, Founder & Head of Strategy\, db clay\, Founder\, MIXED* AI film festival\n\n\nYou’ve put in the time to learn and use some GenAI tools. Now’s the time to gather with your peers in these essential discussions about the pros & cons of humans and GenAI working together\, best practices\, etc.\n\n\nEVENT PRODUCER\n\nThis is the 2nd Co-creAIt event produced by Steve Gehlen & co-produced by Al Partridge. Steve is the past producer of Cre8con\, the Portland Creative Conference (2008-2019)\, the Cre8Camp unconference services\, Inverge: the interactive convergence conference\, the Internet Strategy Forum Summit\, and founder of the Digital Strategy Exchange\, a new professional development network for brand-side/in-house digital leaders.\n\n\nPRESENTED BY: Digital Strategy Exchange\, a new professional development network for brand-side/in-house digital leaders or individual consultants with 10+ years of brand-side experience.\n\nFor information about how to join the Digital Strategy Exchange\, visit https://digitalstrategyexchange.com\nTags: AI\, networking\, unconference\, collaboration\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482492
