Life Science Connect (LSC) has announced that Precision Medicine World Conference (PMWC) has joined its network of specialised life science communities and events. The parties believe the deal should create new opportunities to extend PMWC’s scientific content and conversations throughout the year. The core PMWC leadership team remains intact, including co-founder and president Tal Behar.
Founded in 2009, PMWC is a key forum dedicated to precision medicine, convening clinicians, researchers, industry leaders, investors and regulators around the translation of precision medicine into patient care.
PMWC has had governors and Nobel Laureates, as well as heads of some of the most valuable companies in the world as speakers. (See the current speaker lineup here among 15 Tracks: www.pmwcintl.com/speakers/.)
PMWC aligns closely with LSC’s established Drug Discovery, Cell & Gene, Clinical, and RNA communities.
“PMWC has always been about bringing the precision medicine community together to advance patient care,” said Tal Behar, president of PMWC. “By partnering with Life Science Connect, we can extend the important conversations that begin at PMWC through their communities and digital channels, while continuing to strengthen the in-person experience our community values.”
“PMWC has earned its reputation as the ‘Davos of Precision Medicine’ by bringing together influential voices across science, medicine, biotechnology, technology, and investment around a shared commitment to advancing precision medicine,” said Jon Howland, CEO of LSC. “We look forward to supporting Tal and the PMWC team as they broaden the reach of these conversations while preserving the scientific focus, academic collaborations, and trusted relationships that make the conference distinctive.”
PMWC 2027 will take place 27–29 January, 2027, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley. Current plans, partnerships, and commitments for the conference remain unchanged.
Later in 2027, PMWC and LSC also plan to bring the conference to the East Coast of the US.
LSC Board director Doug Emslie told CMW: “Congratulations to the PMWC team on joining the Life Science Connect family. This is a fantastic outcome for the business and everyone who has helped build it.
“Having pursued PMWC for the best part of seven years, I’m especially pleased that persistence has finally paid off. More importantly, it’s found a great home at Life Science Connect, where it has every opportunity to continue to grow and flourish.
