Discover How Pharma is Using Technology to Measurably Improve the Customer Experience for Patients and HCPs

The 7th Annual Pharma CX Tech Summit will bring together 25+ speakers and 125+ pharma marketing and customer experience leaders to explore how pharma is using technology - like AI, voice & chat, automation, and personalization - to measurably improve the customer experience. Hear from leading pharma customer experience and marketing leaders and learn what they are doing to deliver better customer experiences for patients and HCPs, while driving business impact.

PanAgora Pharma CX events are unique within the industry because attendance is limited to ensure each event is industry-led. Of the attendees, our goal is to maintain at least 65% attendance from pharmaceutical, medical device, and diagnostics companies (mainly comprised of senior-level marketing and customer experience executives within those organizations).

Delegates of this conference will have ample opportunity to connect with other attendees, engage with conference speakers and panelists, participate in interactive conference sessions and workshops, and network with peers.
