Announcing the 2024 STAT Summit Agenda

I couldn't be more excited about the lineup we have in Boston and the speakers, topics, and amazing journalists who will galvanize discussion about the future of medicine. Much of it will be incredibly timely, with our summit happening just weeks before the presidential election.

A taste of what's in store: You'll hear from top executives, including Christopher Boerner, CEO of Bristol Myers Squibb, and Yvonne Greenstreet, CEO of Alnylam, both facing pivotal changes in their businesses. We'll also dive into drug R&D with the heads of research at Biogen and Amgen, explore startup funding with venture capitalist Bruce Booth and entrepreneur Daphne Zohar, and sit down with Tony Coles.

At STAT, patient stories are central to our mission. We'll start the event with groundbreaking work in spinal cord stimulation for paralysis. We'll also have a special focus on people who are turning personal battles with disease—either their own or their children's—into scientific progress as scientists or entrepreneurs.

On the election: Joe Grogan, a former Trump adviser; Donald Berwick, a former Medicare administrator; and Micky Tripathi, the top government official on AI in health care, and more to come.

Throughout the day, you'll hear from our award-winning reporters. Bob Herman and Casey Ross, both 2024 Pulitzer finalists, have been on a historic tear for their groundbreaking work in AI. Usha Lee McFarling, recognized for her exceptional work in health equity, will also be part of the day's discussions. And of course you'll see Adam Feuerstein, Helen Branswell, and more.

Also, we're not done planning. Expect surprises.

Take a look at the full agenda now. I hope to see you there!
