🩺 MBSI 2026 Symposium: Code Blues - Promise and Peril in Medicine's AI Future

AI is changing medicine faster than anyone can agree on the rules. Who gets the final call when it matters most: the clinician, or the algorithm? And when a MedTech startup hits a make or break crossroads, whose judgement do you trust?

This year's MBSI Symposium puts both questions on the table for one night only.

🥊 The Debate
Clinicians and technologists go head to head, arguing sides they're assigned, not sides they chose, for a genuinely unscripted clash on where AI is taking Australian MedTech and BioTech. Vote before and after, and watch the room change its mind in real time.

🚀 The Innovation Decision Room
A MedTech startup is standing at a critical crossroads. Four speakers, four completely different recommended paths forward. No consensus. No easy answer. Just real judgement calls made live, under real uncertainty.

💡 MBSI Project Pitches
Before the night wraps up, hear from MBSI's own student teams as they pitch the projects they've been building all year, real biomedical innovation, straight from the people in the room.

Presented in partnership with the Centre for Digital Transformation of Health and the Faculty of Information Technology, this year's Symposium brings together voices from across Melbourne's biomedical and digital health scene for one big question: in the age of AI, who, and what, do we actually trust?

🍕 Free drinks and canapes on the night.

Whether you're a student, future clinician, aspiring founder, or just AI curious, come argue, come listen, come change your mind.
