actAVA is Heading to Ai4 2026

actAVA is heading to Ai4, America's largest AI industry conference, August 4 to 6 at The Venetian in Las Vegas. Chief Sales Officer Joey Kennedy will be there all three days, and he wants to meet the people building healthcare's agentic future in person. Ai4 runs dedicated healthcare tracks alongside 21 industry verticals and more than 1,000 speakers, making it the right room at the right time: the question in healthcare has shifted from whether to use AI to how to put it into production without adding risk. That's the exact problem actAVA was built for, and the conversation we're bringing to the floor: moving agentic AI from a promising demo to governed, auditable work across prior authorization, utilization management, and care management. Every agent is tested against χ-Bench, and compliance is automated across NIST AI RMF, HIPAA, and CMS standards, on a platform that's HIPAA-compliant and SOC 2 certified. If you're a health system leader, clinician, or head of AI, grab time with Joey in Las Vegas.

We're Heading to Ai4 2026

actAVA is heading to Ai4, America's largest AI industry conference, August 4 to 6 at The Venetian in Las Vegas. Joey Kennedy, our Chief Sales Officer, will be there in person, and he wants to meet the people building healthcare's agentic future.

Ai4 brings the AI community into one room: business executives, technology leaders, researchers, and the builders turning models into real deployments. For healthcare, the timing matters. The question has shifted from whether to use AI to how you put it into production without adding risk.

That's the exact problem actAVA was built for. We'll be on the floor talking about how payers, providers, and health systems move agentic AI from a promising demo to governed, auditable work that runs every day.

Why Ai4, why now

Ai4 runs dedicated healthcare tracks, from care providers to life sciences and biotech, alongside 21 industry verticals and more than 1,000 speakers. It's where the people setting AI strategy for regulated industries actually show up.

Healthcare has spent two years proving that generative AI can draft a note or summarize a chart. The next chapter is harder. It's agentic work that touches prior authorization, utilization management, and care management, where a wrong answer has consequences and every decision needs an audit trail.

Getting there takes more than a good model. It takes the governance, testing, and observability that clinical operations demand. That's the conversation we're bringing to Las Vegas.

What we'll be talking about

Our focus is the high-stakes administrative load that runs healthcare operations, and the long tail of workflows that never made it onto a vendor's roadmap. A few of the things we'll get into with anyone who stops by:

  • From pilot to production. Why most healthcare AI stalls after the demo, and what it takes to ship agents that hold up under real volume.
  • Governance that ships with the agent. Automating compliance across the NIST AI RMF, HIPAA, and CMS standards, so the audit trail exists before anyone asks for it.
  • Proof before deployment. Testing every agent against χ-Bench, the first long-horizon healthcare benchmark for AI agents, built with more than 20 hospitals and universities.
  • Any model, governed. Routing the right model to the right task while keeping full control, on a platform that's HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 certified.

If you're wrestling with any of these inside your own organization, that's exactly the kind of conversation worth having face to face.

Let's meet in person

Conferences are worth it for one reason: the people. Joey will be at Ai4 all three days and would rather trade notes over coffee than over email. Whether you're a health system leader, a clinician, a head of AI, or someone building in this space, reach out and grab time.

  • Working through how to take agentic AI from pilot to production? Let's compare what's actually working.
  • Stuck on governance, testing, or the audit trail? We can walk through how we handle it on KORA.
  • Just want to talk shop about where healthcare AI goes next? Even better.

The question is no longer whether healthcare should use AI. It's how you put it into production and prove it works, without taking on more risk. That's the conversation I want to have at Ai4. Joey Kennedy SVP Sales, actAVA
