For the 11th year, the educational conference, Digital 4Pharma by GET2WORK, was conducted with great success and active participation from more than 200 executives from over 30 companies.
Participants took the opportunity to learn, discuss, and discover current practices, innovative experiences, and modern trends surrounding the digital transition towards the hybrid era of the pharmaceutical market.
Initially, they actively participated in 5 exploration sessions, collectively creating original content, which representatives of the exploration teams then presented to the plenary. The themes of the sessions, from which they were invited to choose, revolved around categories such as Generative AI in pharma, Engagement and content potential through technology and interactions, Health trends on Social Media, assimilation of digital actions for the general public, and collaboration among generations X, Y, Z to enhance digital capability. Simultaneously and throughout the day, the experience hub was operational, where one could see new interactive technologies and solutions in areas such as VR, AR, and more.
