Opening Keynote: Ron Galloway
The Disruptors: How Big Tech Will Change the Future of Healthcare
This talk examines the impact Amazon, Apple, Google and others will make on healthcare. Healthcare and especially hospital-based healthcare is going through a massive disruptive phase right now, with most of the changes being brought about by 1) new technologies and 2) new entrants, competitive and non-competitive, into the space. In this presentation Ron will illustrate the scope of these changes, and the impacts and unintended consequences that may occur. This program will:
1) Show how all these 5 companies plan to impact hospitals and healthcare - Amazon, Google, CVS and Walmart, and now Apple have ridden the wave of businesses leveraging their existing frameworks into healthcare.
2) Illustrate the disruptive impact technology is having on hospitals, particularly the shift from hospitals as healthcare delivery systems to hospitals as data institutions. What changes will all the data collected from EHR’s bring about? What is the role of genomic testing, especially when this data is combined with EHR data and studied with machine learning?
3) Promote an understanding of a timeline of these events, and how they will work in tandem to alter healthcare delivery and evolve the mission of healthcare delivery.

Closing Keynote: Paul Long
Connecting the Workplace and Life Through F.U.N.
Two grown men, cat wrestling singlets and a social experiment. Paul Long leveraged his concept of Fundamism to become the Kansas City Royals' 2016 Fan of the Year while inspiring his employees, organization and an entire city! Paul's philosophy of Fundamism is a deliberate approach to happiness in the workplace, can be applied by anyone and is certain to move your team in the direction you desire. Based on the core principle of F.U.N., this experience will allow your team to explore their Foundation, Understanding of Others and help identify Next Steps in maximizing their overall effectiveness at work and in life. Laugh, learn and actively engage with your team while Paul coaches you through principles that help improve employee engagement, maximize productivity, provide memorable customer experiences and create a more F.U.N. work environment! This experience will provoke thought while leaving audiences with a strong understanding of specific actions to help improve their personal work environment.
BIO: Paul Long has leveraged his corporate experience and ability to connect with others for the last decade to engage audiences around the globe. His shenanigans have been featured in media outlets like ESPN, the Washington Post and even the Wall Street Journal. Years ago, while working for a conservative call center in the highly conservative industry of insurance, Paul had a conversation with a manager and several other employees. "Are you always this upbeat and optimistic?" asked one of the call center employees. "Give it time," retorted the manager, "this place will get to him." From that day forth Paul decided not to allow experiences to shape others but rather motivate and engage others to create memorable experiences for themselves.
