Past event: KOL/Thought Leader Engagement and Advisory Boards Summit

The 8th KOL/Thought Leader Engagement & Advisory Boards Summit is the premier event that showcases the best strategies for collaboration on the identification, engagement and management of therapeutic area experts that can assist an organization throughout a product's life cycle. These experts - commonly referred to as thought leaders or key opinion leaders - will provide industry professionals with valuable insight that will allow them to engage with KOLs compliantly, including declaring all payments through the aggregate spend guidelines.

The acquisition of medical and scientific information, combined with transparent, compliant compensation for advisory board participation, serves as key themes for this conference in an environment where industry professionals are engaging traditional KOLs as well as new thought leaders.


Top Five Reasons to Attend

  • Discuss the acquisition and management of medical information and how to properly disseminate it to a host organization
  • Discover technological innovations in KOL mapping, advisory board management and thought leader identification
  • Exchange best practices with industry professionals, both commercial and clinical, on managing thought leader relationships and cross-functional information sharing
  • Interact with physicians to understand how they best want to be engaged and participate in advisory boards
