What People Say About Our Events

Trusted by industry leaders and innovators worldwide.

“Honestly one of the best two days I've spent at an AI & Pharma conference in a long time. The right people, the right conversations, and zero buzz words just for the sake of them.”

Álex Turpin

Director, Commercial IT & Digital - AI Capability International

“It was a privilege to support Pharma Meets AI as Gold Sponsors. The atmosphere in Barcelona was electric, bringing together a brilliant mix of innovators and decision-makers. What set this event apart was its holistic agenda, bridging the gap between technical AI implementation and the critical foundations of Data Governance. The level of engagement during the sessions and the caliber of the participants reaffirmed that this is a must-attend event for anyone leading digital transformation in Pharma”

Álvaro Espinosa

Life Sciences Business Director

“Excellent ubication and “physical” place.
Excellent selection of speakers and areas of interest.
I have no negative feedback to be honest!”

Jordi Escayola

Global Head Advanced Analytics, Artificial Intelligence & Data Science (Senior Director)

"The "Pharma meets AI" conference has been one of the best conferences I have been participated in, due to the high quality of speakers, and the excellent speaker-to-vendor ratio. The presentations were delivered by leading pharma experts , and each connected logically with the next topic, resulting in a structured session flow."

Sebastian Sbirna

Data Governance Lead – Global Data & AI

"The Pharma Meets AI Conference in Barcelona was very interesting and fruitful: I learned a lot from my industry peers, it was engaging to have different formats across the 2 days, and I particularly liked the right mid-size of the event, which enabled meaningful discussions and deeper networking."

Jordi Casanellas

Director of AI

"Pharma Meets AI - what made it different was the quality of the dialogue—leaders openly sharing how AI is reshaping now work across R&D, commercial, marketing and supply chain, not as isolated efforts but as connected shifts. A true collective step forward for the industry.”

Filipe Diniz

Director, Global Strategy Execution & Change Catalyst

"The Pharma Meets AI Conference 2026 brought together science, ambition, and realism in a way that felt genuinely valuable. I left with a clearer view of both the promise and the practical challenges of AI in drug development, along with meaningful new connections with leaders driving this change."

Debarshi Dey

Vice President, Head of Biometrics

"I enjoyed a lot the open networking part. It was well-organized with an excellent mix of industry and AI experts, fostering open, insightful discussions.I particularly valued the engagement of the audience and the opportunity to connect with peers who are actively shaping the future of AI in pharma."

Beatriz Rosón

Director, Bioinformatics - Predictive AI & Data

"This was a really well organised integrated event with working groups and presentations. Thoroughly enjoyed the discussions and good mix of pharma and agencies…and the food and location!!! The spotme app worked fabulously to keep everyone connected!."

Natasha Hansjee

Everyday AI Champion

"Great conference that brough right people to dive into the topic of AI in Pharma. Very well organized and a well rounded platform to connect and engage in valuable conversations."

Vladimir Nimec

Director Data & AI

"Pharma Meets AI was a timely and well-curated event, bringing together the right audience to create meaningful connections between pharma folks and innovative solution providers. It was as a powerful catalyst for accelerating the adoption of AI and emerging technologies, continuing to drive transformation across the healthcare ecosystem."

Mirian Rodrigues

Digital & Tech Director

"It was a great conference:
1 - Very professional presentations (not hype but real ones)
2 - Diversity of topics
3 - Engaging audience (they didn’t allow me to ask a single question)
4 - A collective atmosphere of presentations – as people tried to connect the dots with previous talks. Great job! Looking forward to the next conference."

Christos Varsakelis

Associate Director Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning

"I think it was a well run, professionally presented and delivered conference with relevant curated content by professional experts. The venue near the sea was a bonus and the way the networking breaks were organised run smoothly and enable good interactions. I have obtained a lot of good contacts. As my only suggestion for improvement, I felt that in the first day there was perhaps a bit of repetition focusing on the same topic of commercial marketing and ATP interactions. For the future, you could have a bit more variety or at least mixing recurring themes for the second day."
