PING Conference 2024

AI in Pharma - Threat or opportunity?

AI is currently dominating discussions. It has already changed how we operate and is poised to significantly reshape the world. McKinsey's research points to potential opportunities worth $100 billion annually for the pharmaceutical industry. However, alongside these opportunities come significant threats and risks. AI's influence will impact every aspect of the pharmaceutical ecosystem, spanning from drug discovery and repurposing to sourcing, manufacturing, quality assurance, supply chain management, and engagement with healthcare professionals and patients.

Consequently, AI in pharma is an unavoidable subject. At this year's PING Conference, attendees will have the chance to learn from industry experts who will delve into the practical implications of AI in pharma. Covering insightful case studies, delegates will hear about both risks and opportunities leaving them better placed to face and prepare for what is coming.

This year, the event is being hosted in the beautiful grounds of Knebworth House and Barns, just outside the Stevenage science park. There will be plenty of opportunities to network with other industry players. Following the afternoon sessions, enjoy outside drinks in the venue's picturesque grounds, and then a relaxed evening with entertainment that promises to bring some magic to the day, and dinner.
