Explore the latest from AWS in generative AI and LLMs, including the newly launched Amazon Bedrock. Discover new data tools for collaboration and generating insights, like Amazon Clean Rooms and Amazon Omics.
Unlocking data, analytics, and machine learning to accelerate innovation.
About the event
Life science organizations are at a turning point in how they use data science and machine learning (ML) to accelerate the research and development of life saving medicines. But, unlocking the true value of data and harnessing the power of ML to accelerate innovations requires executive leadership engagement and an end-to-end data strategy.
Join us for this exclusive, executive event to learn how life sciences leaders are advancing innovations through robust data foundations and machine learning on the cloud. Hear real-world examples from forward-thinking companies on how they are utilizing technology for gaining data-driven insights to fulfill their current and future needs.
The event will feature keynotes, lightning talks, product demos, and panel discussions across two parallel tracks:
Track 1: Accelerating pharmaceutical drug discovery with ML
Track 2: Unlocking access to and insights from data
Following the symposium, join us for dinner and an AWSome view of the Red Sox and Mariners baseball game at Fenway Park.
