Members of the SoR are being urged to book their tickets to the 2nd annual Global AI Conference to ensure early bird prices now.
The Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) has announced early bird tickets and the programme for the 2026 conference, with a theme of ‘safe and practical implementation’.
Taking place from 29-30 June at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in Westminster, London, the conference will have attendees hear from global leaders on ethical and safe AI, allow them to connect with innovators, and earn over 50 continuing professional development credits.
'Exciting new developments'
Richard Evans, CEO of the SOR, said: “It is exciting once again to be supporting the RCR at the Global AI Conference. Radiology continues to lead the way in the clinical application of AI. The professional bodies involved are meeting the challenges of safe and effective implementation of technology in the interests of the best possible patient care and service provision.
“The partnership between the RCR and the Society of Radiographers continues to set the standard for professional collaboration, and we look forward to exciting new developments and policy initiatives that will spring from the conference.”
This year’s conference includes five programme streams, including:
- AI education and research - building the talent and insights to drive clinical AI forward
- Future-ready AI - championing ethical leadership and public trust in AI
- AI vigilance: governance and regulation - navigating risk, compliance and regulation in a dynamic landscape
- Clinical implementation - delivering AI that works for clinicians and patients
- Industry symposia - discover cutting-edge innovations and solutions from industry leaders
Reshaping healthcare systems
Keynote speaker Professor Curtis Langlotz, professor of radiology, medicine and biomedical data science at Stanford University, USA, will review the origins of artificial intelligence for medical imaging and predict how it could change radiology practice through real-world examples, and assess the shortcomings that could limit its application.
AI conference committee chair, Professor Owen Arthurs, said: “Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming our understanding and practice in healthcare, offering the potential to reshape our healthcare systems. It should help clinicians to deliver care and drive huge strides forward in knowledge and insight.
“As AI continues to rapidly evolve, it is more critical than ever that patients, healthcare professionals, policymakers and politicians truly understand the possibilities of AI and its inherent risks, to ensure AI's safe, ethical, and evidence-based integration into our health services.”
Early bird rates will be available until 16 March, while late abstract submissions close on 26 March.
