DeSci at the AI Inflection Point
DeSci at the AI Inflection Point Speakers tackle questions others avoid: Did Web3 fail—and what must Web4 do differently? Can AI-optimized code change how decentralized systems are built? Did venture capital undermine sustainable models for decentralized science? What role will personal knowledge graphs play? Where is technology genuinely improving governance? As AI advances, are traditional computer science departments—and even academics themselves—at an inflection point? The discussion also considers research funding, the White House and SEC focus on a new age of science, and the institutional disruption already underway. Featured experts: Jim Nasr, CEO, Acoer Professor Justin Goldstein, Georgetown University https://conv2xsymposium.com/

Reclaiming Healthcare: How DAOs and Decentralized Credentials are Cutting Out the Middleman
Reclaiming Healthcare: How DAOs and Decentralized Credentials are Cutting Out the Middleman Dr. Leah Houston Founder and CEO, HPEC The healthcare system is expensive, inefficient and frustrating due to unnecessary third parties and friction filled manual processes that get between patients and their doctors. Through decentralized identityby and credentialing we can create a distributed network of practicing doctors that connect connect securely, directly, privately with each other and with the patients they care for. We are building the future essentialized healthcare revolution and we can’t wait to build it with you.

The Last Mile: Why 90% of Biomedical AI Research is Stuck
The Last Mile: Why 90% of Biomedical AI Research is Stuck Stephen Dennis CTO, Softhread Dr. Bob Rogers Co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer, BeeKeeperAI Over 90% of all biomedical AI research is stalled due to its inability to access real world protected health information to complete the required clinical validation and valuation prior to its deployment. With AI forecasted to improve patient outcomes by 40% and costs by 50% the new paradigm of zero trust must be adopted and leveraged to avoid the existential crisis facing biomedical AI research. Join us and learn how confidential computing and blockchain meet the requirements of zero trust.

What Comes After Predictions: A Deep Dive on Healthcare’s Next Moves
Ajaz S. Hussain Strategic Advisor, Bright Path Laboratories, and BHTY Editor Michael Dershem CEO, Apierion Jim Nasr CEO, Acoer, and BHTY Editor John Riley III Chief of Emerging Tech, IMPACTIFI • Mohan Venkataraman Principal Consultant, Block10.ai We gathered the authors of BHTY’s “2026 Healthcare Predictions: AI, Blockchain, and the Rise of Decentralized Innovation,” for a video and podcast conversation to unpack the forces redefining healthcare’s future. The follow-up discussion moved beyond predictions into real-world implications, adoption hurdles, and execution risks across healthcare: Blockchain, Trust, and Claims Management Insights into how decentralized architectures can improve trust, reduce claims friction, and create more transparent interactions among patients, payers, and providers. Patient Agency and Health Data Sovereignty A focused discussion on decentralized identity, privacy-preserving data sharing, and the growing global shift toward patient-controlled health data. AI + Blockchain in the Supply Chain Use cases in pharmaceutical and healthcare supply chains—including supplier verification, smart tags for condition monitoring, and the push for traceability and resiliency. Decentralized Science (DeSci) How decentralized funding and peer review models are addressing bottlenecks in clinical research, preclinical discovery, and scientific collaboration. AI Risk, Safety, and Centralization Concerns The panel addressed the unintended consequences of centralized health AI, emphasizing governance, bias mitigation, and regulatory alignment. Payments, Digital Assets, and Readiness for 2026 A candid look at healthcare payment dysfunction, the role of digital assets and stablecoins, and why CXOs are beginning to engage seriously with these models. Watch or listen to the conversation for extended analysis and candid perspectives from leaders working at the front lines of decentralized healthcare innovation. More conversations will be featured at the annual ConV2X Decentralized Healthcare & Life Sciences Summit this September - where these themes move from theory to implementation.
