Mass General Brigham MESH Core (May 4–5, 2026) is a two-day intensive, in-person, hands-on healthcare innovation course and networking conference set in the center of biomedical innovation. Drawing on decades of breakthroughs, this official MGB curriculum distills essential knowledge and lessons from healthcare leaders across Harvard, Mass General Brigham, and industry, preparing innovators with the insight and skills needed to advance what is possible.

Suitable for founders, physicians, researchers, investors, health professionals, MBAs, students, executives, and the public. A combination of lectures, hands-on cases, extensive networking, lively panels, and startup pitch sessions. CME credits offered for physicians.

In 2026, in addition to the MESH fundamental innovation education sessions, thematic threads include artificial intelligence, longevity and life extension, the current venture funding environment, and tech-enabled access to healthcare.

All participants receive a MESH certificate at completion and one year access to the private Innovation MESH Network, where you can join over 3,000 Mass General Brigham and Harvard leaders, faculty, clinicians, and MESH Alumni to network and view additional recorded materials like the MGB MESH Innovation Grand Rounds series.
