⌖ Chiang Mai

The International Conference on AI and Data Science Applications in Bioinformatics takes place in Chiang Mai, Thailand, on 22–23 October 2026. It focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence, data science and bioinformatics. About the conference This two-day conference offers a focused setting for exploring how computational approaches connect with biological information and bioinformatics applications. Its central theme brings together three rapidly developing fields: AI, data science and bioinformatics. For attendees working across disciplinary boundaries, the event provides an opportunity to engage with a subject area that combines intelligent systems and data-led methods with biological research. The conference will be particularly relevant to: - AI and data science researchers interested in bioinformatics applications - Bioinformatics professionals exploring computational and intelligent approaches - Academics and students working across computer science, biology or related disciplines - Practitioners following developments at the intersection of AI and biological data - Organisations assessing the relevance of AI and data science to bioinformatics work Event details - Dates: Thursday 22 October to Friday 23 October 2026 - Location: Chiang Mai, Thailand - Format: Two-day international conference - Core subject: AI and data science applications in bioinformatics The interdisciplinary focus is what distinguishes this event. Rather than addressing artificial intelligence as a broad standalone topic, the conference centres specifically on its relationship with data science and bioinformatics. This makes it a potentially useful date for attendees seeking a specialised conference rather than a general overview of AI. The available event listing does not currently identify individual speakers, a session-by-session agenda, the precise venue, ticket categories or submission requirements. Prospective attendees should consult the official listing for the latest programme and participation information before making travel arrangements.

Hosted by UBIQ Events

The 2nd MedTech Meets AI Conference brings healthcare technology leaders to Barcelona on 14–15 October 2026 for two days of practical AI insight and industry connections. Hosted by UBIQ Events, this specialist conference explores how artificial intelligence is being applied across medical devices, diagnostics and the wider life sciences sector. Rather than focusing solely on future possibilities, the programme promises real-world case studies, practical applications and expert perspectives on implementing AI in complex healthcare environments. What the conference will cover The two-day agenda will examine several of the most consequential areas where AI is reshaping MedTech: - Transforming disease detection through AI-assisted diagnostics - Medical imaging and the changing role of AI in radiology - Turning medical big data into useful diagnostic insight - AI-powered robotics and advances in surgical precision - Ethical and regulatory considerations for healthcare AI - The challenges, innovations and potential impact shaping AI’s future in MedTech These themes make the event particularly relevant to MedTech executives, healthcare innovators, AI strategists, medical-device professionals, data and analytics leaders, R&D teams, and life sciences decision-makers. The content is aimed at an experienced professional audience looking for implementation lessons, strategic insight and opportunities to compare approaches with peers. Industry speakers The announced 2026 line-up includes leaders working across innovation, AI research, analytics, robotics, manufacturing transformation and digital platforms. Speakers include Mayank Mohun of Siemens Healthineers, Karolina Henzel and Lukasz Nowicki of GE HealthCare, Donnacha Dunleavy of Medtronic, Sertac Guzel of Johnson & Johnson MedTech, and Abouzar Eslami, PhD, of ZEISS Medical Technology. Further perspectives will come from senior figures at Philips, Alcon, Fresenius Medical Care, Zimmer Biomet, Getinge and KARL STORZ. Additional speakers are due to be announced, giving attendees access to a broad cross-section of the organisations developing and deploying AI-enabled medical technology. Venue and tickets The conference takes place from Wednesday 14 to Thursday 15 October 2026 at Hotel Catalonia Eixample 1864, Carrer de Roger de Llúria, 60, in central Barcelona. The event combines

⌖ Amsterdam · Amsterdam

Hosted by Knowledge Exchange Network

A two-day, in-person conference in Amsterdam exploring how to validate and apply AI safely across regulated GxP life sciences environments. Taking place 14–15 October 2026, from 8:00am to 5:00pm, Harness the Power of AI in GxP Europe brings together practical use cases, regulatory guidance and validation strategies. Organised by Knowledge Exchange Network, the programme focuses on using artificial intelligence to improve efficiency while protecting compliance, data integrity and accountability. Rather than treating AI as a purely theoretical opportunity, this conference uses case-study-driven sessions to examine implementation in manufacturing, quality control, validation and supply chains. Attendees will hear how regulated organisations can approach AI-driven automation, predictive analytics and continuous process improvement without losing sight of GxP obligations. Regulation, validation and data integrity The regulatory sessions will explore the frameworks and expectations shaping AI adoption in life sciences, including: - FDA guidance concerning AI and machine learning - Part 11 compliance for secure, accurate electronic records - The ISPE® AI Quality and Compliance Initiative - Data integrity challenges in AI-driven processes - Regulatory expectations across global markets - Transparency and accountability throughout AI validation Industry experts will discuss how teams can align AI initiatives with applicable quality and compliance standards, with particular attention to the evidence and controls required when algorithms influence regulated processes.

⌖ Leeds · Platform

Hosted by The Curve

A closed-door Leeds discussion for senior leaders who need to prove whether AI is delivering commercial ROI, not simply generating more activity. Taking place at Platform in Leeds on 14 October 2026, from 8:30am to 10:30am, this focused breakfast session examines how organisations can move from tracking AI output to measuring genuine business impact. It is organised by The Curve and Hopton Analytics. From AI activity to defensible returns Many businesses can identify what AI is doing but struggle to quantify what it returns. Time may be saved without appearing in commercial reporting; licences and pilots can continue without clear ownership of the return; and apparent efficiency gains may be absorbed into costs rather than converted into greater capacity or fee growth. This session is a direct sequel to The Curve’s earlier AI Reality Check discussions in Sheffield and Leeds. It keeps the same reality-first approach while concentrating on one sharper question: is your AI paying for itself, or just staying busy? The conversation will explore: - Where AI is producing a number that can be defended in a board meeting, and where it remains activity without measurable impact - The “efficiency tax” created when saved time is not deliberately converted into value - How leaders can approach build-versus-buy decisions - The commercial risks of turning quickly built internal tools into products - Whether pricing for outcomes rather than hours is a credible option - The cost of investing now compared with the potential cost of waiting Who should attend? The event is designed for directors, C-suite executives and Heads of roles across all industries. It will be particularly relevant to senior leaders and commercial decision-makers responsible for AI investment, operational efficiency, pricing, capacity or technology strategy. The discussion will be led by Paul Ridgway, CEO of The Curve, and Simon Devine, Managing Director of Hopton Analytics. An open, confidential format… Register for this event
