What?
The Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Institute’s 13th annual symposium, titled “beBold: The Forefront of Innovation and Transformation in Healthcare.”
When?
Wednesday, March 19th – Thursday, March 20th | 2025
Where?
New York Academy of Medicine
1216 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10029
Who?
Over 20 esteemed speakers from around the globe, with keynotes from:
- David Rubenstein
- Arianna Huffington
- Whitney Casey
- Scott Gottlieb, MD
Panel topics include:
Bold directions in women’s health
Bold execution in artificial intelligence
Bold ideas in brain-computer interfaces
Bold science from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H)
Along with panel discussions, our symposium will also offer
Poster Session & Innovation Exhibit
A platform for researchers to present their latest innovations and discoveries
Networking Opportunities
Attendees will get to connect with leading experts from various fields in biomedical engineering, healthcare, and beyond
Closing Reception
The event will conclude with a special reception, including live music inspired by the symposium’s theme
The theme “beBold” captures the spirit of pioneering advancements in healthcare technology and is best embodied by the newest member of the BMEII team, a cartoon astronaut. This astronaut can be seen as a figure that encapsulates the human drive to explore, innovate, and unite in the pursuit of greater knowledge and understanding.
Previous Symposium Success
Last year’s symposium attracted over 325 participants, including representatives from renowned companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Siemens. The event garnered praise for its contributions to precision medicine and healthcare innovation.
