Can you provide a summary of your presentation?

The presentation will provide a definition of “digital sciences” and discuss how these new methodologies and technologies are revolutionizing medicine. Several examples will be provided. It will then focus on the opportunities digital sciences have opened up for medical research and drug development. As there is a lot of hype in the AI space, some common concepts of AI and what AI can and cannot do are described. Guidance is provided on how to avoid some pitfalls.

What are some key takeaways you hope attendees gain from the sessions?

Digital sciences are changing the face of medicine and medical research
Pharmaceutical research professionals need to adapt to these changes if they want to stay relevant in their careers
AI and Machine Learning are powerful technologies, but not “rocket science”
The time to act is now and not some day in the future

Why do you think digital transformation teams should attend the conference?

In order to lead a successful digital transformation, teams need to know the scientific and technological trends in this space as they are discussed at the conference.

VantagePoint Performance trains Salespeople to be more fluent and comfortable across different situations needing different sales approaches, and we train Sales Managers to be better coaches and team leaders, with more focus and less stress.

We’re different from the average sales training company because:

We don’t believe that one approach, one system, or one methodology is absolutely superior. All have something to offer, and the “best approach” or “best system” depends on the sales situation. This is what our applied, academic research tells us.
Our use of data science, specifically Machine Learning, helps us learn about our clients more meaningfully. We provide insights from each client’s data to help them understand what drives the success of their top-performing Salespeople and Sales Managers.
We are constantly feeding what we learn back into our training products, and we invest a bigger slice of our total energy into this innovation than the average sales training company. Our clients can access always-refreshed intellectual property and content through our training subscriptions.
