The End. Barcelona is a one-day, in-person conference exploring how AI will reshape clinical trials and the future of clinical research on 15 October 2026.
Hosted by Biorce at Espai Diagonal in Barcelona, this high-trust gathering will bring pharma pioneers, biotech founders, researchers, regulators and investors into the same room for direct, practical conversations about what comes next.
Clinical research at an inflection point
The programme sits at the intersection of AI, scientific judgement and trial delivery. Rather than treating AI as an abstract trend, the conference will examine where it can create meaningful progress, where the hype exceeds the evidence and how responsibility should be assigned when technology influences clinical decisions.
Across keynote presentations, expert panels and a live debate, planned topics include:
AI and the future of scientific judgement
AI governance, accountability and what regulators will accept
AI in clinical trials: separating signal from hype
Partners or platforms: the next operating model for CROs
Protocols as data and the drive to reduce protocol complexity
Recruitment realities and the points where trials actually fail
The human cost of slow medicine
Whether the randomised controlled trial remains the gold standard
The full agenda and speaker line-up will be announced closer to the event.
Who should attend?
The End. is designed for people building, funding, regulating or conducting the next generation of clinical research. It will be particularly relevant to pharmaceutical leaders, biotech founders, clinical operations teams, researchers, regulators, investors and AI specialists working in healthcare or life sciences. The subject matter is industry-focused, but the varied format should make it useful both to senior decision-makers and practitioners seeking a clearer view of how AI may affect trials in practice.
Running from 8:30am on Thursday 15 October, the event combines a full day of structured content with time for in-person networking. Its emphasis on sharp conversation, live disagreement and a candid room distinguishes it from a conventional showcase or product-led AI conference.

Explore Claude through hands-on building, coffee and peer learning at a women-in-tech community morning in Barcelona. Taking place on Saturday 10 October 2026, from 10:00am to 1:00pm GMT+2, Claude & Coffee offers a relaxed setting for experimenting with Claude, discussing practical questions and turning an idea into something tangible. You can attend whether you are opening Claude for the first time or already use it and want to explore its capabilities more deeply. Rather than following a formal conference programme, this community event centres on learning by doing. Bring your laptop, a project or problem you would like to work through, and your curiosity. The morning will leave plenty of room to test ideas, ask questions and learn alongside other attendees over coffee and conversation. The aim is simple: arrive with something you would like to make easier, better or more enjoyable, then leave with useful ideas, and potentially something you have built. Who is it for? The event is designed as a space for women in tech and people who want to build alongside them. The audience may include: - Developers and data professionals - Designers and product leaders - Founders and operators - Researchers - Anyone curious about practical uses of AI No particular level of Claude experience is required. Beginners can use the session to start exploring, while more experienced users can bring an existing project, compare approaches and go deeper. Your host The morning is hosted by Fernanda Grace Lins, a Claude Ambassador based in Barcelona and a global growth and partnerships leader. Her experience spans AI, cybersecurity, SaaS, proptech and international markets. You can connect with Fernanda on LinkedIn. The event is presented by Claude Community Events, a global programme hosted by community members for people building with Claude. Its combination of hands-on experimentation, candid conversation and a welcoming coffee-session format makes this a practical alternative to a conventional AI talk. The exact Barcelona address is shared after registration. The event is currently listed as full, but you can join the waitlist and will be notified if more places become available.
