AWS Gen AI Day
April 8 @ 7:30 am - 6:30 pm
Innovation Quarter is a site for events that spark learning, collaboration, and innovation, and you are invited to join a one‑day AWS Gen AI Day symposium on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, in Biotech Place – Innovation Quarter in Winston‑Salem, NC. The event will bring together leaders across healthcare, research, academia, and industry for insight, collaboration, and innovation.
In the fall of 2025, AWS hosted its inaugural Gen AI event at The Pearl in Charlotte, NC, featuring leading experts from AWS, AI industry partners, and academic medicine who shared strategies to accelerate the application and execution of AI frameworks. Building on that success, AWS is bringing an expanded Gen AI experience to Innovation Quarter to advance AI adoption in research, innovation, discovery, learning, and entrepreneurship.
Through executive keynotes, customer success stories, and cross‑industry collaboration, attendees will gain practical frameworks to turn AI strategies into measurable business value. Along with an emerging technology expo, there will be networking opportunities with leaders from AWS, Advocate Health, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and leading AI companies working to shape the future of healthcare AI.
We look forward to having you join us for a day of insight, collaboration, and innovation.
