“News moves fast — and a lot will change between now and May 2026. What we already know: AI is changing everything. Eli Lilly and NVIDIA just announced they will build the biggest AI supercomputer directed at drug discovery. Obesity medicines are taking over the world. As the political and business environment shifts, biotech stock prices and M&A activity are way up. And innovations are helping patients in disease after disease.

“We’ll gather STAT reporters, industry leaders, and big scientific thinkers to help attendees develop an intuitive feel for the most important question for anyone in the health care business: What’s next?”
