About the event

The Hopkins Business of Health Initiative (HBHI) Workgroup on AI and Healthcare and the Johns Hopkins Data Science and AI Institute (DSAI) are convening together for the first time. On Thursday, June 4, 2026, the two communities will gather at DSAI's Mt. Washington campus for an end-of-year capstone.

This gathering unites faculty, researchers, and clinicians from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Whiting School of Engineering, the School of Nursing, the Carey Business School, and DSAI. Many attendees have built meaningful collaborations across the workgroup's webinar series and DSAI's growing research portfolio. June 4 marks the first chance to do so together, in one room.
