SUMMARY:Alumni Discussion: AI\, Work & Society – Preparing for Transformative Change
DESCRIPTION:As you know\, Artificial Intelligence is rapidly expanding its role in how we live and work. Organizations are using AI to increase productivity\, accelerate research\, improve decision-making\, and create new products and services. Powerful cognitive tools are now broadly accessible\, reshaping career paths\, organizational design\, education\, and public policy. \nInvestment in AI rivals some of the largest technological efforts in history. While the long-term trajectory remains uncertain\, the direction is clear: AI will meaningfully influence economic opportunity\, labor markets\, and institutional structures in the years ahead. \nThis session is designed as a thoughtful\, peer-level conversation. Rather than focusing on hype or alarm\, we will examine credible scenarios\, and explore the choices in front of us by addressing such questions as: \n–How can individuals use AI to enhance their capabilities and remain adaptable?\n \n–How should organizations rethink talent development and leadership pipelines? \n— What responsibilities do governments and institutions carry in ensuring broad-based prosperity and social cohesion? \nOur goal is not prediction\, but preparation. Through informed discussion\, we will work to identify practical actions at the personal\, organizational\, and societal levels and consider how we\, as leaders\, can help shape a constructive path forward. \nWebinar Information\nDate: Tuesday\, Apr 14th\nTime: 10:00 – 11:30AM ET  \nThis event will be held on Zoom and your webinar link will be sent the morning of the event at 9:00am from events@hbsab.org.  If you do not receive this email\, please contact jason@hbsab.org.  \nPricing Information\nHBS Association of Boston Members – Complimentary\nGeneral Public – $10\nNot a Club Member?  Join today!

SUMMARY:HBSAB Risk Conference | Inside the Cost Crisis in Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare spending now exceeds 18% of U.S. GDP—the highest among developed nations—yet outcomes in life expectancy\, chronic disease management\, and avoidable mortality continue to lag our peers. For business leaders responsible for workforce health\, benefits strategy\, and organizational risk\, this isn’t an abstract policy debate. It’s a P&L problem that compounds annually. \nWhy This Discussion Is Different This program is designed to surface nuanced\, real-world perspectives rather than high-level talking points. We have been intentional about assembling senior executives with direct P&L and operational responsibility—leaders whose insights reflect lived experience\, not theory. \nProgram Keynote: Professor Robert Huckman\, Raymond Family Chair and Co-Chair of the HBS Healthcare Initiative\, will open with perspectives on the current state of U.S. healthcare delivery and where operational innovation is gaining traction. \nExecutive Panel: Ranch Kimball\, BCG Partner and Innovation Advisor\, will moderate a conversation with:\n• Patrick Gilligan\, CEO\, Point32 Health (Harvard Pilgrim)\n• Dr. Edwin Huang\, President\, Mount Auburn Hospital\n• Additional panelists to be announced \nThe panel will explore how health systems and payers are balancing cost pressures with access\, quality\, and workforce realities—and where emerging technologies\, including AI\, may offer credible paths to efficiency without compromising care. \nReception & Peer Exchange: Following the keynote speaker\, continue the conversation over food and beverage with fellow executives navigating similar challenges. \nWho Should Attend This event is designed for CEOs\, CFOs\, CHROs\, and board members seeking insight into the forces shaping healthcare costs and risk—whether you’re managing a benefits budget\, evaluating health system partnerships\, or leading an organization within the healthcare ecosystem itself. We welcome HBS alumni and invited guests who share an interest in substantive\, executive-level dialogue. \nEvent Highlights \n\nDate & Time: Tuesday\, April 14\, 2026; 5:00 to 8:30\nLocation: Harvard Business School Campus\nTheme: Inside the Cost Crisis in Healthcare\nKeynote Speakers & Panel\nGain insights from accomplished alumni and industry leaders who have successfully managed risk within the healthcare space\, learning from their experiences and best practices. Professor Robert Huckman of the Harvard Business School and Co-Chair of the HBS Healthcare Initiative will give a keynote address on the Current State of the US Healthcare – Is Help on the Way”.  Ranch Kimball\, BCG Partner and Innovation advisor will moderate a panel featuring CEOs and senior executives from hospitals\, insurers\, government and pharma/device companies to learn how these organizations are navigating the risk environment in this changing healthcare environment.\nInteractive Sessions\nParticipate in our panel discussions designed to provide attendees with practical tools for assessing\, mitigating\, and leveraging risk.\nFood and Beverage\nNetworking Opportunities\nConnect with fellow alumni and professionals from diverse industries in a collaborative environment that fosters learning\, innovation\, and future partnerships.\n\nPricing Information\nWe expect this event to sell out so please register early. \nClub Members | $35\nChair’s Club Guest | $35 (max 1)\nMember Guest | $45\nGeneral Public – $55\nChair’s and President’s Club members are initially charged the normal event fees at time of registration and will only receive a full and 50% refund respectively if they attend the event.

SUMMARY:2026 Spring Fall Investment Panel | The Big Rotation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exciting panel that will focus on the “big rotation” under way in financial markets. Since the second half of last year\, we have seen a broadening of the bull market to encompass laggard asset classes such as developed international\, emerging markets\, small/mid cap and dividend strategies. So far in 2026\, these sectors have been the best performers\, far exceeding the performance of hot sectors such as AI and technology.  Our panelists will debate and share their insights on the rotation and its sustainability. \nOther key questions: \n\nIs the dollar debasement trade a short- or long-term phenomenon?\nWill the dollar retain its dominance as the world’s reserve currency?\nWhat does a lower dollar mean for international stocks and global bonds?\nDirection of short-term rates under the new Fed President\nThe impact of tariffs on inflation\nIs “AI” in a bubble?\nWhat will derail this bull market? Risks to consider.\n\nFinally\, the panelists will share their perspectives on the appropriate asset allocation mix for the next several years.

SUMMARY:My GPS Journey: 3 Wrongs Made it Just Right
DESCRIPTION:We all rely on GPS every day — from driving directions to aviation\, shipping\, emergency response\, and the growing world of autonomous systems. But how many of us truly understand how GPS works\, why it’s vulnerable\, and what we can do to protect its future? \nJoin the Harvard Business School Association of Boston for a fascinating conversation with Harold “Hal” Jones\, one of the early innovators in modern GPS. Hal will explain\, in clear and engaging terms: \n\nHow GPS accuracy improved more than 100× beyond what its original designers intended\nWhy today’s GPS systems can be jammed\, spoofed\, or deceived — sometimes with dangerous consequences\nWhat steps governments\, businesses\, and technology leaders can take to safeguard navigation in an era of cyber threats and AI-driven systems\n\nThe discussion will be moderated by Ben Shapiro\, Professor of Marketing Emeritus at HBS and a respected business thinker known for his ability to make complex topics accessible\, thoughtful\, and relevant. \nThis event is ideal for business leaders\, technologists\, students\, and anyone curious about how a technology we take for granted shapes the world around us.

SUMMARY:Alumni Discussion: Building Community Today: What Works? What Doesn't Work?
DESCRIPTION:We often speak about community as if it were a given—something we naturally belong to. Yet when we look more closely\, some of the ties that bind us cannot be taken for granted. Some\, when we look back to the past\, have been lost completely. \nWe begin with a simple but revealing question: Where do you experience community today? \nFrom there\, we widen the lens: \n• Where is community working—and where is it breaking down?\n• What do these patterns reveal about the conditions that enable connection—or undermine it?\n• And what do they suggest about the future of community in a more fragmented world? \nThis conversation moves from the personal to the collective—grounded in lived experience\, yet aimed at uncovering broader insights about how community is formed\, sustained\, and\, at times\, lost. \nParticipants may come away with a clearer understanding of where community is functioning effectively today—and a sharper sense of their own role in shaping and strengthening it. \nJoin us in May for a thoughtful\, engaging exchange.

SUMMARY:An Evening With Davios’ Steve DiFillippo
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with Harvard Club of Boston\, you are invited to join us for this special event. \nYou’ve just finished eating a truly memorable meal at one of Boston’s top restaurants.  Every last detail—the food\, the service\, the staff\, the view—was amazing.  You start wondering\, “How do they do that?”  And how do they manage to have multiple branches from Boston to DC that duplicate that experience\, given that fifty percent of new restaurants in the U.S. fail within the first five years? \n \n  \nSteve DiFillippo\, owner of Davio’s\, will discuss how he built his business from one location on Newbury Street in Boston in the ‘80s into eight go-to destinations in the eastern US. \nJoin us for an informative and entertaining evening from one of Boston’s leading restauranteurs and entrepreneurs. Please note:  We have scheduled a dinner at the Davio’s Seaport location for Tuesday\, October 6th.  \nPlease see the October events calendar for details.

SUMMARY:Dinner At Davio’s | Join us in the Seaport
DESCRIPTION:Seating is limited to 50 people  \nJoin us for an unforgettable evening of great food and great company on Tuesday October 6th at 6:00 PM. The HBS Association of Boston is pleased to host dinner at Davio’s in the Seaport District. \nDavio’s–Seaport combines a state-of-the-art kitchen and restaurant design with exceptional food\, a friendly and attentive staff\, and great harbor views.  It is what Boston food critics call a “warm\, inviting place to dine.” \nOwner Steve DiFillippo started with a location on Newbury Street\, and created seven go-to duplicates that stretch down to Virginia. \nJoin us for another great evening of fine food and atmosphere\, reconnecting with old friends\, and enjoying the company of new ones.  Maybe this is what occasional Davio’s diners Mick Jagger and Keith Richards had in mind when they wrote “Satisfaction.”
