The reinvention of publishing and information organisations has accelerated through the pandemic and the ConTech.Live mission to learn, share and explore the transformative impact of new technologies has never been more relevant.

The two-day programme is full of insightful sessions delivered by CEOs from leading publishers and digital first and innovative start-ups. Product pioneers, transformation specialists from publishing, the music industry and online consumer markets. Research heads, advisors, data scientists, investment specialists and many more.

ConTech Pharma 2023 is excited to be returning as a hybrid event and will take place not only in person in London but also online on 2nd March 2023. It continues to focus on how technology and particularly data science is relentlessly transforming the world of content.
