Who Comes out to DataDrivenPharma?

WHAT ATTENDEES SAY

Trusted by the Pharma Data Community

Karol Estrada

VP Translational Genomics at Maze Therapeutics
“Data Driven Pharma is valuable because it gives you quick access to external perspectives on issues we're all facing in the industry. The casual format and curated sessions let you choose what's most relevant, but the real value is the unexpected connections you make.”
Dean Lee

Senior Expert I, Data Science at Novartis
“The most valuable part was actually seeing some of my coworkers in person for the first time. My company is so large that we’re always in zoom meetings with other people in other departments, and I've actually never met them in real life”
Oliver Hesse

VP & CMC Digital Transformation & Data Science Lead at Bayer
“The most valuable part of DataDrivenPharma is the networking with a small, highly interested group of people discussing similar topics from different perspectives. I specifically learned a new perspective on 2 leading technologies that I could actually carry into my company.”
Will DeLoache

Co-Founder & CEO Tabulous
“DataDrivenPharma is the premier community for professionals focused on the intersection of data and drug development. What sets it apart is the collaborative session format, with open discussions about AI's impact on your organization, combined with a chill atmosphere and genuinely engaged people.”
Mia Nease

Senior Vice President, Commerical at DNAnexus
“DataDrivenPharma delivers substantive, practical insights through collaborative problem-solving discussions. It's where executives and practitioners can have real conversations about the challenges that matter.”
Grant Stephen

CEO & Co-founder at bPrescient
“The intimate size of the event enables higher quality conversations with both speakers and attendees; something you simply don't get at larger, more sprawling conferences.”
Paul Shi

Scientific Director of Computational Biology at Amgen
“DataDrivenPharma is a place where great people come together to build genuine, lasting connections. It also gave me the opportunity to lead a fireside chat and panel with industry leaders, catalyzing my professional growth and increasing my external visibility.”
Merrit Savener

VP of Commercial at Potato
“What stood out most was the ability to form valuable connections spanning a diverse cross section of industry, from large organizations to startups, with everyone in between. I was even able to get real-time feedback from someone working on challenges directly related to a feature we're developing.”
Radia Johnson

Senior Director, Computational Discovery Science at Tempus
“ DataDrivenPharma has a unique hands-on data focus. Speakers are either data or computational people - it’s exciting to have visibility on this side. It’s a special place to be, where you’ll meet a great group of folks: founders, entrepreneurs, and big pharma, biotech, and techbio people.”
Michael Kappler

Director, Head of Research Informatics at IDEAYA Biosciences
“It is a space where hierarchy takes a back seat and everyone is encouraged to engage openly and authentically.”
