The Precision Medicine World Conference (PMWC), formerly known as the Personalized Medicine World Conference, is an independent and established conference series considered to be the preeminent precision medicine conference that attracts recognized leaders, top global researchers and medical professionals, and innovators across healthcare and biotechnology sectors to showcase practical content that helps close the knowledge gap between different sectors, thereby catalyzing cross-functional fertilization and collaboration. Since 2009, recognized as a vital cornerstone for all constituents of the health care and biotechnology community, PMWC provides an exceptional forum for the exchange of information about the latest advances in technology (e.g. DNA sequencing technology), in clinical implementation (e.g. cancer and beyond), research, and in all aspects related to the regulatory and reimbursement sectors.

The conference format consists of two main tracks (1 and 2) and two parallel tracks (3 and 4). Tracks 1 and 2 include sessions by leaders in the commercial, pharmaceutical, academic, government, regulatory, venture capital, and non-profit arenas that deliver a broad and up-to-date array of content across the various facets of precision medicine. Session discussions focus on time-relevant aspects with a selected set of key stakeholders, while commercial sessions cover the latest developments in technologies that are instrumental for the success of further adoption of precision medicine.

In parallel Tracks 3 and 4, the “Most Promising Company Competition” segment identifies “rising stars” startup companies in the area of diagnostics, therapeutics, and health tech via a platform that includes leading investors. Additionally, companies and research institutions can promote their platforms, launch products, and share research developments to a targeted audience.

Since 2010 PMWC has recognized individuals who have played a significant role in transforming health care by advancing precision medicine in the clinic with the Luminary and Pioneer Awards. The honorees’ numerous technological and scientific contributions have expedited this transformation as demonstrated by the clinical adoption of precision medicine, and the ongoing introductions of novel clinical applications.
