Building Commons for Clinical LLMs | International Conference
October 1 & 2, 2026, Paris
While Large Language Models (LLMs) offer transformative potential for healthcare professionals, their development is subject to strict regulatory frameworks governing clinical data access.
Beyond this hurdle, most generic models lack the deep domain expertise required for clinical accuracy, a limitation that is even more pronounced in non-English speaking environments. Furthermore, given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs, their use in a medical context presents inherent patient safety risks. This necessitates absolute precision and the establishment of standardized clinical benchmarks to rigorously evaluate model performance across diverse medical specialties.
Conference Objectives and Content
This conference aims to:
- Present recent research and findings on LLMs in healthcare, with a particular focus on open-source and collaborative approaches.
- Foster discussion & collaboration on the major regulatory, scientific, technical and ethical challenges associated with LLMs in healthcare.
- Open a dialogue with industry stakeholders to compare research findings with real-world applications, limitations, and the conditions for deployment.
- Address the associated regulatory and ethical challenges, in relation to existing and emerging frameworks, and their impact.
What to Expect:
- 120 participants: researchers, healthcare & industry professionals
- Day 1 (October 1st) : 6 keynote spotlights, 2 high-level panel sessions and dedicated poster & networking sessions
- Day 2 (October 2nd): 3 collaborative workshops
The conference will feature an international lineup of speakers pushing the frontiers of the use and challenges of LLMs in healthcare. Detailed schedule coming soon!
