Name: Agentic Pharma Summit
Start: 2026-11-09
End: 2026-11-10
Location: Convene at CityView

ABOUT THE SUMMIT

From AI adoption to agentic execution.

AI answers. Agentic AI acts. You give an agent an outcome and it charts its own path: picks the tools, runs the steps, delivers the finished work. The moment you stop approving every step and start reviewing the result, your system is agentic.

Two days on what worked, what did not, and what comes next.

FROM THE FOUNDERS

Why we built this.

Agentic AI is moving faster than pharma’s playbook. It is already changing how commercial teams reach patients, support clinicians, and run the business, and the pace is unlike anything the industry has absorbed in years.

Welcome to the inaugural Agentic Pharma Summit. If you work on AI or agentic projects in a commercial role, this was built for you.

The program was shaped by our Founding Advisory Council and through research with hundreds of commercial leaders from across the industry. Both fed directly into the agenda you see today and into the faculty we assembled. It is made of real agentic stories, told by leaders willing to say what is working and what is not.

We have plans to add workshops and focused group discussions throughout both days, so there is room to go deeper where it matters to your work. There will be many opportunities to expand your network with other life sciences executives as well as solution providers in the Connection Cafe at Convene. You will also be able to make new connections before the doors open, through our mobile app, and schedule one-to-one meetings in advance.

Come to debate and pressure-test your own approach against a group of peers solving the same problems you are. It will be a busy two days, but we promise to make it well worth your time out of the office.

WHY ATTEND

Top reasons to attend this event.

01

See what is actually working.

Real stories from commercial teams already running agentic AI, including what has not worked. You leave with patterns you can apply, and the right questions to be asking internally.

02

Face time with your peers.

Senior commercial leaders from the top pharma companies, together for two days. The candid peer conversation this industry rarely gets when something is moving this fast.

03

Build the foundation before you scale.

The data, governance, and operating-model decisions that determine whether agentic AI actually delivers. Twenty-four sessions and counting, built around the calls you are making this year.

04

Be early to the playbook.

This is where the commercial playbook for agentic AI gets written: what MLR and compliance are actually approving, how to ship inside a regulated environment without slowing down, and where the category goes next.

05

Meet the tools and partners driving the change.

The technology vendors and solution providers building agentic AI for pharma are here. See what is real, pressure-test the platforms, and connect directly with the partners driving and leading the change, alongside the commercial teams deploying them.

THE FACULTY

Hear from the leaders building with agentic AI in pharma.

We are assembling life sciences commercial leaders who are actively working with agentic AI today. Practitioners with hands-on experience to share.

Speakers are confirmed and announced on a rolling basis as each clears their own internal review. Full Program Agenda Release is Coming Soon.
