More than a conference

PharmaDS is becoming a community

We're not just hosting one conference a year. PharmaDS is growing into a year-round community — starting small with a committee round table, followed by workshops, and anchored by our annual conference.

How we gather

The shape of the community

Round tables

Small, focused discussions that start within the committee and grow outward.

Workshops

Hands-on deep dives on the topics our community cares about most.

Annual conference

Our flagship gathering — the high point of the community year.

Year-round networking

Mentorship, collaboration, and connections that don't stop when the conference ends.
