2026 Ideas: Health Closing Session

2026 Ideas: Health Closing Session

All eyes are on the future as we close out Aspen Ideas: Health 2026. We begin with Dr. Priscilla Chan, pediatrician, philanthropist, and co-founder of Biohub, whose bold vision is to combine frontier AI and frontier biology to one day prevent, cure, or manage all disease. Dr. Chan will be interviewed by Becky Quick, co-anchor of CNBC’s Squawk Box. Next up is a conversation between journalist Katie Couric, executive producer of the upcoming documentary “Hormonal!”, and ob-gyn Sharon Malone, chief medical advisor of Alloy Health, who will shine a spotlight on the science, policy, and cultural shifts driving progress in women’s health. Finally, comedian, actor, and author Kate McKinnon and Tim LaSalle, co-founder of the Center for Regenerative Agriculture and Resilient Systems, explore opportunities for a food system that uses robust ecological practices to feed the world’s population while mitigating climate change. Learn what’s in store for medicine and health in the decades to come. Aspen Ideas: Health takes place on the Aspen Institute’s wondrous 40-acre campus in the Rocky Mountains from June 22-25, 2026. The three-day event, which has opened the renowned Aspen Ideas Festival since 2014, is where health’s biggest challenges meet its biggest thinkers. #AspenIdeasHealth #AspenIdeas For more information about Aspen Ideas: Health, visit https://www.aspenideas.org/health.
