Why Attend the Pharma CX Oncology Summit?
PanAgora Pharma CX events are unique within the industry because attendance is limited to ensure each event is industry-led. Of the attendees, our goal is to maintain at least 65% attendance from pharmaceutical, medical device, and diagnostics companies (mainly comprised of senior-level marketing and customer experience executives within those organizations). This is done to create a peer-to-peer knowledge sharing and learning environment that prioritizes meaningful relationship building amongst like-minded pharma marketing and customer experience business leaders.

Attendees of PanAgora Pharma CX conferences will have ample opportunity to connect with other attendees, engage with conference speakers, panelists, participate in Q&A and interactive sessions, and network amongst peers.
