Last night we co-hosted an industry dinner with healthcare IT professionals in Nashville.
What's happening:
- Together with Steel Patriot Partners, we hosted a private dinner with 16 guests at Urban Grub.
- We discussed MCP servers and their role in AI deployments; AI governance; social determinants of health for AI; and the best places to put up a billboard in Nashville.
Vladimir Svidesskis: AI governance

- Vladimir Svidesskis (Director, Security, Compliance and Risk, Highspring) shared talking points from a recent presentation on AI Governance
Overheard in the room (sans attribution):
- “Security is a business of trust."
- Re: AI: "People are very nervous about getting behind. If you’re behind, you’re never gonna catch up."
- No one had a BAA with OpenAI
- The GTIA conference in Nashville was recommended
- Re: private dinners: "This is my preferred way to network and do business.”
The bottom line:
- Getting people together to learn and network. That's what it's about. That's what we'll keep doing.
