Mediated by Hoyen, the conversation started with Macias providing an overview of the PPN including its mission, structure, and vision. Stengel followed up with an overview of how the education domain is building the learning and development infrastructure needed to push out content to learners wherever they learn best in order to pull users into the PPN ecosystem of offerings.  VanEnkevort then explored the value Microsoft can bring to PPN as it gathers the intelligence needed to strategically invest in opportunities that advance the PPN mission. 

In addition to the special PPN session above, conference topics included AI in Pediatrics, PedsMRKT launch, XR/VR Wearables, Digital Health Innovation, Women in Innovation, and several sessions with members from the International Children’s Advisory Network.
