Stanford Big Ideas in Medicine

Saturday, September 9, 2023, 8:00 AM - Sunday, September 10, 2023, 5:00 PM, Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge (LKSC), Palo Alto, CA

In this inaugural Big Ideas Conference, four theme areas were selected by a committee of Stanford faculty. This event includes multidisciplinary thought leaders from science, business, journalism, and policy in discussion and dissection of some of the most pressing issues facing medicine in our time. Theme areas this year include: Big Data and AI, Longevity, Oncology and Health Equity. Each theme will feature four speakers giving a 15 to 30 minute talk on a transformational Big Idea followed by a conversation with the speaker. The speakers from each theme will then be asked to join a panel at the end of each half day session for an open discussion. The conference will be informative and engaging for researchers, physicians, business executives, policymakers, non-profit leaders, students, patients and advocates, and other community members.
