Additional speakers will be announced in coming weeks.
The summit will be held Oct. 25, 2019 at the University of South Florida’s Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation in Tampa, FL, a city quickly becoming a technology and innovation hub receptive to cutting-edge concepts such as Design Thinking.
