Elevating Medscape’s Authority through the Power of AI
As we head into #ACC26 in New Orleans...
As we head into #AAD2026 in Denver, CO (March 27-31), we have a massive opportunity to lead the conversation on AI. With medical knowledge now doubling every 73 days, our clinicians are looking for a trusted bridge between "data deluge" and "clinical precision," and supporters are looking for that “trusted” resource.
This meeting is a pivotal strategic touchpoint for our business; it’s where we solidify our market leadership and transition from being a legacy provider to an AI-driven innovator. Success here directly accelerates our growth and reinforces our competitive edge in a rapidly evolving landscape.
Our mission is to drive high-value traffic to our Booth #2307 by highlighting our 30-year legacy of authority paired with our new AI-powered tools.
The Booth Experience: Clinicians and supporters can "test drive" our newest AI features. Rachel and Nora will be conducting walk throughs and prompt faculty and members for testimonials.
Below is a list of resources needed for AAD! If you have any suggestions as to what can be added here, please reach out to Rachel.
See you in Denver!
