Frequently Asked Questions

  • DataDrivenPharma West is designed for professionals advancing data science. You’ll feel right at home if you’re:

    • 👩‍🔬 A data scientist, engineer, or analyst working in drug discovery, translational research, or clinical development

    • 🧬 A team lead or director building scalable platforms, workflows, or infrastructure for data-driven science

    • 🧠 An executive or decision-maker setting strategy at the intersection of data and therapeutics

    • 🧪 A technical innovator driving progress in bioinformatics, ML/AI, or multi-omics integration

    If you're shaping how data is used to accelerate science, this event was built for you.

  • Most industry conferences have the right people somewhere in the building. We put them all in one room.

    DataDrivenPharma East is built around one simple idea: the most valuable thing you can leave with is a relationship. So we've designed everything around making that happen: the attendee mix, the format, the agenda.

    • The room is curated. 50%+ of attendees are from pharma, biotech, and diagnostics, not vendors. 30%+ are Associate Director level or above.

    • The format encourages real conversation. Panels, roundtables, and a relaxed evening reception give you multiple contexts to connect, not just a cocktail hour at the end of a long day.

    • The people are self-selected. Everyone in this room chose to be here. That changes the energy entirely compared to a company-sponsored event or a mega-conference.

    This isn't a mega-conference. It's a focused gathering of data science practitioners who are here to meet each other.

    Leave with a connection worth more than your ticket.

  • Access to the full-day conference experience, including:

    • 🎤 All keynotes, panels, and discussion sessions led by data science leaders from top pharma and diagnostics companies

    • 🍷 Admission to our evening reception with curated food, drinks, and high quality conversation

    • 🤝 Access to our attendees working at the forefront of biotech and pharma data science

    We’ve designed the event so you can focus on learning, connecting, and contributing.
