Who should attend ISMAI 2026?

A clinically grounded discussion of medical AI requires more than one professional community in the room. The audience pages below describe what the Florence symposium offers each visitor group and how the programme speaks to their concerns.

Why a multidisciplinary meeting

Medical AI cannot be evaluated by one profession alone.

A validation question is also a governance question. A clinical implementation question is also an ethical one. ISMAI 2026 is designed as a shared setting in which clinicians, methodologists, ethicists, legal scholars, regulators, patient representatives, trainees and healthcare leaders can examine the same case from different vantage points, in language that remains accessible across disciplines.

Each audience page below explains the questions that community typically brings, the parts of the programme most likely to be relevant, and the next steps that follow naturally from attending. The pages are not marketing copy; they are guidance on whether the symposium is a serious fit for the reader.
