Why this Summit
What is AI actually doing for marketing, customers and revenue?
Commercial teams across life sciences are under pressure to answer that question. The best answers rarely come from a vendor deck. They come from the people who have tried it, inside the limits of a regulated industry.
The Life Sciences AI Summit brings those people together for two days in San Diego. It uses Curtis & Coulter's TED-style storytelling format: practitioners sharing what they built, what worked, what didn't and what they'd do next.
This is a commercial summit. It doesn't cover AI in drug discovery, clinical research or manufacturing.
Across life sciences
Five sectors, one set of commercial questions
- Pharma
- Biotech
- Medical devices
- Diagnostics
- Other life sciences
Different regulators, the same commercial questions, so the best answers come from comparing notes.
Themes
What we expect to explore in 2027
Four commercial themes, each grounded in real work from life sciences teams.
AI for Marketing
Content, campaigns, creative and demand generation that hold up in a regulated industry.
AI for Customer Experience
Patient, HCP and customer journeys, personalization and AI-assisted service.
AI for Digital Engagement
Omnichannel, social, search, and working with the platforms' own AI.
AI for Commercial Innovation
Sales enablement and training, market insight, operating models, and moving from pilots to scale.
Compliance, privacy and trust run through every theme.

Across pharma, biotech, medical devices, diagnostics and other life sciences.

Feedback from earlier AI Marketing for Medical Devices events
"The MedDev Marketing AI Summit was packed with insights, case studies, and great discussions on AI's impact. The biggest takeaway? There's no one-size-fits-all; every company is finding its own way to integrate AI while balancing strategy, compliance, and innovation. The networking has been just as valuable as the sessions. Kudos to Mark Coulter for organizing this great event."
