Spotlight On #HTGS26: Agentic AI and Digital Endpoints Supercharging R&D

HTGS26 is a prominent pharma tech conference highlighting advancements in R&D through agentic AI and digital endpoints. Agentic AI refers to autonomous AI systems capable of independent decision-making to accelerate drug discovery and development. Digital endpoints leverage real-world data and sensors for more efficient, patient-centric clinical trials. The event features keynotes on how these technologies reduce R&D timelines and costs by up to 30-50%. Recent sessions (early March 2026) showcased case studies from leading biopharma companies implementing these innovations. Organized by HTG, it draws 5,000+ attendees focusing on transforming the 'D' in R&D. Sources:
