Global GI AI Summit and Workshop
AIGI Summit
September 19, 2026 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM
Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center
The 8th Annual Global Artificial Intelligence Summit: Gastroenterology and Artificial Intelligence brings together clinicians, industry leaders, regulators, and payors to examine how AI is shaping the future of GI care. Focused on “Aligning Practice, Policy, Platforms, and Payors,” this program highlights real-world implementation, workflow integration, regulatory considerations, and reimbursement challenges. Through expert presentations and panel discussions, participants will gain practical insights into adopting AI technologies and advancing innovation in gastroenterology.
Half-Day Workshop
September 18, 2026 1:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center
As artificial intelligence reshapes the landscape of GI endoscopy, separating transformative innovation from overpromised technology has never been more critical. Designed for physician executive leaders, health system and medical group leaders, practice administrators, industry leaders, investors, and other stakeholders, this high-impact half-day workshop cuts through the noise to deliver an honest, well-grounded examination of where AI truly stands in GI endoscopy practice today.
Learning Objectives
AIGI Summit
Participants will be able to:
- Describe the current state of AI adoption in gastroenterology.
- Identify challenges and opportunities in integrating AI into clinical workflows
- Explain regulatory and evidence requirements for AI-enabled tools
- Discuss research priorities and emerging applications in GI
- Evaluate payor expectations for coverage, value, and reimbursement of AI
Half-Day Workshop
Participants will be able to:
- Distinguish between AI applications with demonstrated real-world efficacy and those that remain unproven from the clinic to the office setting
- Discuss building a responsible AI strategy with an understanding of the organizational and workflow factors that determine the success or failure of AI adoption in GI practice
- Describe procedural, diagnostic, and operational challenges that endoscopists need AI to meaningfully address so that clinician-centered perspective can be used to prioritize technology investments that deliver measurable value to patients, gastroenterologists, and the broader practice
