View Programme

AI tools in clinical trials offer the potential for faster timelines, reduced costs, and more efficient operations. But alongside genuine breakthroughs come questions about how, and where, these tools truly deliver.

This in-person symposium takes a clear-eyed look at AI in clinical development, exploring both the opportunities and the challenges. Designed for sponsor companies, CROs, service providers, and procurement leaders, it will equip attendees to assess AI solutions with confidence and make decisions grounded in evidence.

Through case studies, expert panels, and a step-by-step procurement playbook, the programme will examine the spectrum from proven successes to lessons learned when technology falls short.

Key topics include:

  • Where AI delivers: Tangible wins in patient recruitment, site selection, and data integrity
  • Learning from setbacks: Real-world case studies and practical lessons
  • Procurement with precision: Key evaluation questions, risk management, and regulatory awareness
  • Understanding the tech: Transparency, explainability, and compliance essentials
  • Preparing for what’s next: Trends shaping AI in clinical trials

Whether you’re responding to vendor pitches, shaping trial strategy, or planning long-term AI investment, this symposium will provide the clarity, context, and practical insight needed to turn potential into performance.

Who should attend:

  • Pharmaceutical sponsor company professionals
  • CRO leaders and strategic operations teams
  • Procurement & outsourcing decision-makers
  • Service providers developing or integrating AI into trial services
