AI Day 2025

AI in biopharma:
no longer theoretical

October 14, 2026
Georgia Room, NYC
HYBRID

The question is no longer whether AI can change biopharma. It already is. Pharma giants are reshaping their workforces, the first AI-designed drugs are making their way through the clinic, and record money is meeting rising doubt about the payoff.

AI Day returns in 2026 for the next question: what changes for the people building the future of medicine?

It brings together leaders across biopharma, academia, the frontier labs and venture capital, hosted by Endpoints senior biopharma correspondent Andrew Dunn. Take part two ways: an exclusive in-person experience in New York City or a free virtual-only program.
