An Invitation for Life Sciences Technology and Automation Leaders
The Life Sciences industry is at a pivotal crossroads. Accelerating drug development and optimizing manufacturing workflows are no longer just strategic goals—they are operational imperatives. As pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device companies transition from vision to execution, the industry's focus has shifted away from pilots and theoretical technology capabilities and squarely toward practical, scalable execution.
To highlight the strategies driving this evolution, ARC Advisory Group is hosting a specialized, webinar series from June 2026 through January 2027 leading to in-person sessions at the ARC Industry Leadership Forum 2027 in Orlando, FL. We are inviting the leading life sciences companies and technology suppliers to collaborate with us by nominating industry leaders who are successfully pioneering AI and digital
transformation on the front lines.
About the Series
How are leading Life Sciences organizations scaling innovation and improving manufacturing performance in an increasingly complex AI-driven environment?
ARC’s Life Sciences Webinar Series brings together industry leaders from pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies to share how they are using emerging technologies, leveraging AI and digital transformation strategies across the product development lifecycle.
Across 4–5 sessions running from June 2026 through January 2027, each webinar will feature practical, experience-based perspectives from end users, complemented by ARC’s independent industry research and analysis.
We are actively seeking case studies that demonstrate real-world impact in areas such as:
- Advanced Automation & Execution: Modern Manufacturing Execution Systems
(MES) and Electronic Batch Records (EBR) optimizing shop-floor operations. - Predictive Analytics & Operations: Deployment of AI, machine learning, and
digital twins to streamline scale-up and tech transfer. - Asset & Fleet Optimization: Asset Performance Management (APM) strategies
reducing downtime in validated environments. - Connected Workforce: Digital working technologies empowering operators and
ensuring regulatory compliance. - Data Architecture: Industrial Data Fabrics breaking down silos between clinical
development and commercial manufacturing.
Why End User Voices Matters
This series is centered on real-world case studies. While technology capabilities continue to evolve, it is the experience of practitioners that provides the most actionable insight. By featuring end user speakers, we aim to highlight measurable outcomes, share lessons learned, provide practical guidance, and foster meaningful dialogue across the Life Sciences ecosystem.
