Connect, learn, and lead in the age of data-driven pharma
Join us as we explore the expanding role of AI and data science across the pharmaceutical industry. From modern statistical design and real-world evidence analytics to machine learning, generative AI, and automation, data-driven methods are redefining how medicines are discovered, developed, and delivered.
This year's program emphasizes real-world learning with practical applications, hands-on short courses, and industry-leading discussions — giving attendees actionable insight into how data science and AI are reshaping target identification, molecule design, clinical trial optimization, biomarker discovery, and safety signal detection.
