Healthcare organisations that were once focused on implementing emerging technologies and advanced analytics have now been pushed to act more rapidly to manage COVID-19 and its impacts, as it is arguably a matter of life and death. As one of the first countries to successfully unite to fight against COVID-19, there are plenty of things to be learnt from Aotearoa's public health system and its response to this unprecedented pandemic.

Our panel of speakers are experts and leaders in their fields, and will provide unique insights into the key learnings from this pandemic, which emerging technological solutions have been applied in New Zealand, and what changes we are hoping to see in the near future. Afterwards, you have the opportunity to network with our panel and each other, and enjoy some light refreshments! 🍹🥪

This event is open to ALL, and tickets are FREE (but limited). Grab your ticket now and don’t miss out!
