# The Conversation: An Intimate Curated Gathering

Abridge recently hosted **The Conversation**—an intimate curated gathering in Pittsburgh, PA. Our thesis was that bringing together unique perspectives across AI, healthcare, and the arts would create a rare alchemy—and it was nothing short of inspirational.

Over two energizing days, healthcare leaders including [Mayo Clinic](https://www.linkedin.com/company/mayo-clinic/)’s [John Halamka, M.D., M.S.](https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhalamka/) and [Arcadia](https://www.linkedin.com/company/arcadia-io/)’s [Aneesh Chopra](https://www.linkedin.com/in/apchopra/) shared perspectives on science, innovation, and creativity with luminaries like music producer **Rick Rubin** and medal-winning athletes **Gabby Thomas** and [Ali Truwit](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ali-truwit-625582196/). The discussions were illuminating and thought-provoking.

All who were in the room contributed to a dynamic chemistry that was the catalyst for new insights and a renewed focus to build a better healthcare system for both clinicians and patients. This video captures some of the magic—enjoy!
