CAIM — Clinical AI Mastermind

60 executives. One room. No slides.

CAIM is a closed-door session for senior life-science executives who are making real decisions about clinical AI. Not evaluating it. Making decisions about it.

The format

Structured conversation, not a conference.

CAIM sessions run for a full day. There are no keynotes, no vendor presentations, and no panels. The format is structured conversation: a facilitator, a set of prepared questions, and 60 executives who have agreed to speak candidly about what they are seeing, what is working, and what is not.

Attendance is by invitation. Companies are represented at the VP level or above. The session is conducted under Chatham House rules — participants may use information from the session but may not attribute it to a specific speaker or company.

Session topics

What gets discussed

Agentic AI in trial operations

Where agentic systems are delivering measurable value today, and where they are not. Specific use cases, failure modes, and regulatory acceptance.

Regulatory posture on AI

FDA, EMA, and PMDA positions on AI-generated outputs in regulatory submissions. What is acceptable, what requires a meeting, and what is still undefined.

Build vs. buy vs. partner

How companies are structuring their AI capabilities — internal development, vendor relationships, or partnership models. What is working at scale.

Data infrastructure

The data quality and governance requirements that make AI systems work in clinical settings. What most companies underestimate.

Talent and organization

How companies are building the internal capability to operate AI systems — not just procure them. The organizational changes that are necessary.

What is next

The capabilities that are 12–24 months away from operational readiness, and how to position for them now.
