WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jun 1, 2023–
DIA, the premier professional global community for healthcare product development, will host its 2023 Global Annual Meeting in Boston, June 25-29. In keeping with this year’s theme, “Illuminate,” the event underscores the importance of convening global sponsors, CROs, regulators, academics, and patients face-to-face for honest and open collaboration that illuminates the path to the future of healthcare and ignites critical change in drug, device, and diagnostic development.
“For more than 50 years, DIA has played a key role in the global drug development industry ecosystem but there’s so much more we must do,” said Marwan Fathallah, DIA’s recently named President and Global Chief Executive. “The innovative spirit of the 2023 Global Annual Meeting brings together the world’s top scientific minds, industry leaders, regulators, and public policy influencers in one place to share meaningful, revolutionary insights on the challenges that lie ahead. As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, we see the dawning of a new day in clinical development. We have opportunities to transform the industry as we know it for the benefit of patients everywhere.”
This year, the meeting’s opening keynote plenary and panel discussion will be led by Dr. Junaid Bajwa, the Chief Medical Scientist at Microsoft Research, and a practicing physician in the UK’s National Health Service. The discussion will focus on how diversity, innovation, and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming the life sciences industry.
On track to be one of DIA’s largest events, with more than 5,000 attendees and 500+ speakers, the Global Annual Meeting is the preeminent industry-neutral forum for the entire international healthcare value chain ranging from policy and regulation to research and development, marketing, and access.
