New Forum Speakers Announced: What AI Makes More Valuable Panel


Hi!

Knowing when to push back on a CEO. Building trust with stakeholders over years. Translating complexity in ways that require human context.

This is a mere sampling of elements of our role as corporate affairs practitioners that AI can't do (at least, not yet).

Following the rollout of our AI in Biopharma Comms Survey results at our second annual Biopharma Comms Forum on June 11th, we're convening a panel discussion with Nicole Fichera (CannonDesign), Jaren Madden (Schrödinger), and Kerry Ryan (Takeda) focused on the skills and capabilities that are increasingly becoming more valuable as AI adoption spreads through our industry and specific profession.

Biopharma Comms Forum details:

Thursday, June 11th | The Alumni Center @ Northeastern University, Boston, MA

Additional sessions we're focused on at the forum include the following:

  • Trust, Influence, and the Staying Power to Lead (panel)
  • What the First AI in Biopharma Communications Survey Reveals (presentation)
  • High Expectations, Finite Capacity (panel)
  • Behind the Headlines of Sarepta’s Communications Strategy (case study)
  • Building the Architecture of Clarity (keynote)
