Harness the Power of AI to Elevate Medical Affairs, Empower Stakeholders for Success, and Achieve a Competitive Edge in the Evolving Digital Landscape

Impending Winter Storm

We are actively monitoring the developing storm and are in close communication with our meeting venue. As of now, the venue is planning to remain open and fully operational. Based on current forecasts showing the storm moving out of the Philadelphia area by Monday morning, we are planning for a delayed start on Tuesday, January 27th, and our team is actively working through final agenda adjustments to accommodate this timing. Our priority is ensuring a safe, seamless experience while delivering the high-quality educational program this community expects. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you and running a strong, impactful event.  Please email jonathan@momentumevents.com with any questions.

Your Peers in Innovation

Our Summit is tailored for medical affairs professionals, digital strategists, data scientists, and field medical leaders from across pharma, biotech, and medical device organizations. You’ll be surrounded by peers who are actively shaping how AI is applied to evidence generation, stakeholder engagement, and field excellence. Expect to meet decision-makers who understand the challenges of regulatory compliance, data integration, and patient-centricity — and who are eager to share best practices and lessons learned.

Where Innovation Meets Collaboration

Join an environment where innovation thrives through collaboration. You’ll meet experts who are experimenting with AI in diverse contexts — from field medical operations to evidence dissemination — and discover how their approaches can inform your own. These connections extend beyond the event, offering you a community of forward-thinking professionals to engage with long after the summit ends.

Curated for Impact

Our program is built on deep industry research, ensuring every session addresses the most pressing questions in medical affairs. You’ll explore cutting-edge AI solutions, hear case studies from organizations already implementing them, and gain practical frameworks to guide your own adoption.
