Previous Attendees
The Digital Opinion Leader Excellence Bootcamp is a one-day intensive event designed to help pharmaceutical and life sciences professionals navigate the rapidly evolving influence landscape of 2026 where credibility, health literacy, and trust matter more than celebrity reach. As audiences grow increasingly skeptical of traditional influencer marketing, this bootcamp focuses on how organizations can responsibly engage Digital Opinion Leaders (DOLs) and authentic patient advocates to drive meaningful education, engagement, and impact across digital platforms.
As regulatory scrutiny intensifies and public backlash becomes more immediate in a “cancel culture” environment, this bootcamp brings together leaders from pharma marketing, medical affairs, compliance, digital strategy, and communications to explore how to balance creativity with safety. Through real-world examples and practical frameworks, attendees will learn how to identify and vet credible DOLs, structure compliant partnerships, and avoid FDA warning letters, reputational risks, and PR crises while still creating content that resonates with modern audiences.
Whether you work in commercial, medical affairs, digital health, or communications, the Digital Opinion Leader Excellence Bootcamp delivers actionable guidance you can apply immediately. Attendees will gain tactical insights on coaching advocates for compliance, tailoring messages across platforms from TikTok to LinkedIn, and building sustainable DOL programs rooted in authenticity and education. If you’re looking to future-proof your influencer and advocacy strategies while keeping patient trust and regulatory integrity at the forefront, this bootcamp is where you need to be.
