DIA Europe Annual Meeting
DIA Europe 2026 Conference
March 24-26, 2026, Rotterdam Ahoy Convention CentreAs the largest neutral conference in the European life sciences arena, this event is a cornerstone for advancing innovation, collaboration, and impactful decision-making.
The P02 - Patient-Centric Trials, Evidence & HTA poster session will include our poster: Translating Participant Feedback into Protocol-Level Action with Generative AI. See link below if you’d like to review the poster, try the prompt on your own data, or learn more about feedback questionnaires and the experts who support them.
The DIA Leaders of Tomorrow Student Program hosted 40 early-career life science professionals on Monday, 23 March for a full day program. During my time with them, I challenged them to close the distance between building treatments and experiencing them. The premise is straightforward: if you will spend your career designing protocols, writing consent forms, or counseling patients on their options — you should know what it feels like to be on the other side of the table. I was inspired by what these future leaders shared about what they’d actually need to know before enrolling in a study themselves, generating insights that mirror what trial participants tell us through advisory sessions and interviews. I hope one of the result is a room full of future drug developers who now carry that question — what would I need to know? — into every protocol they touch.

#PasP2025 lived up to its expectations with a wide network of advocates and industry stakeholders offering lessons learned, frameworks for use, and implementation advice. We’ve come a long way from “why patient-focused drug development” to “how and measure impact” of patient engagements. To the many great reviews of the conference, I add my playlist of reactions.
