Nominate an AI Champion
Every year, the people who move AI from promise to practice in medicine rarely get the recognition they deserve. The AI Champions Awards exist to change that - to put a name and a face to the clinicians, nurses, leaders, innovators, and institutions who are transforming healthcare with artificial intelligence.
The AI Champions Awards return at AIMed26, taking place November 11–13, 2026 at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld. Winners will be celebrated live in front of the AIMed community - 1,000+ attendees representing 500+ hospitals and health systems worldwide.
Do you know someone who deserves the spotlight? Nominate them today.
