24 Sep 2025
Princeton, NJ, September 24, 2025: Senior life sciences executives convene at the Indegene Digital Summit 2025 to explore how AI is transforming commercialization. The invite-only event at Philadelphia’s iconic Barnes Foundation features global experts sharing real-world insights and showcases programs delivering measurable impact.
Now in its 7th edition, Indegene Digital Summit is a flagship thought leadership platform for the life sciences industry, facilitating dialogue among senior executives, regulators, and digital innovators. This year’s theme, “From Chaos to Clarity - and Better Decisions”, focused on delivering tangible value beyond the hype of Generative AI (GenAI).
Industry leaders share how they are transforming commercial operations, advancing technology initiatives, and rethinking strategy to drive greater impact. Executives engage in wide-ranging yet practical discussions on data unification across the value chain, agent-augmented workforce, GenAI in commercial operations, evolving pharma regulations, zero-rep commercial models, and the future of customer engagement, among others.
