SUMMARY:2026 ABFO National Conference
DESCRIPTION:The ABFO National Conference is the leading event for Bioscience CFOs and senior finance professionals aspiring to be CFOs.  We have an outstanding lineup this year\, including keynote speakers Tom Whitehead (Co-Founder\, Emily Whitehead Foundation)\, Donovan McNabb\, Joe Quinlan (Bank of America Merrill Lynch)\, and Dr. Taryn Marie. Breakout sessions cover everything from AI implementation and treasury best practices to IPO readiness\, M&A\, and career development\, all designed for biotech finance leaders. \nWho should attend?\nCFOs: As the biotech landscape evolves at unprecedented speed\, CFOs find themselves at the center of transformation—not only managing capital\, but shaping strategic direction. At ABFO\, financial leaders will gain critical insights into emerging funding dynamics\, M&A priorities and regulatory shifts that directly influence long term financial planning. You will walk away with a clearer understanding of how to balance innovation investment with disciplined fiscal governance\, how to position your organization in a competitive capital market\, and how to leverage partnerships\, data\, and operational models that accelerate growth. Ultimately\, ABFO equips CFOs with the strategic foresight and practical tools needed to guide their companies through the next wave of scientific and market opportunity. \nAspiring CFOs: For future CFOs\, ABFO offers a front row seat to the forces shaping the industry—and a clear view of the skills and strategic mindset required to lead in it. Attendees will gain exposure to evolving capital raising models and the financial frameworks that drive biotech from early discovery through commercialization. They’ll see firsthand how seasoned CFOs navigate uncertainty\, build investor confidence\, and translate complex science into clear value narratives.\nMore importantly\, aspiring CFOs will leave with a deeper understanding of the competencies they must hone: strategic financial planning in a high risk\, high reward environment; cross functional collaboration with R&D and clinical teams; and the ability to anticipate regulatory\, market\, and operational pressures before they materialize. The conference serves not just as an educational experience\, but as a roadmap—illuminating the path toward becoming a financial leader who can guide a biotech organization through growth\, challenges\, and breakthrough moments.\n			\n				Click Here to Register

SUMMARY:AI in Action: Real-World Applications Across Pittsburgh’s Human Health Innovation Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:​Artificial intelligence is no longer just in a pilot phase in healthcare. It’s actively shaping how organizations operate\, make decisions\, and deliver care today. \n​Join leaders from across Pittsburgh’s life sciences and healthcare community for a candid\, real-world discussion about how local organizations are actually applying AI today. This session will go beyond theory to explore practical use cases\, lessons learned\, and the realities of implementation. What’s working\, what isn’t\, and where do the biggest opportunities still exist? \n​Panelists will share their experiences deploying AI across clinical\, operational\, and research settings\, offering insight into best practices\, common pitfalls\, and how to navigate challenges such as data access\, governance\, and scaling solutions. While grounded in healthcare and life sciences\, the discussion will also draw on perspectives from adjacent industries to highlight how AI is being applied more broadly and what can be learned across sectors. \n​This session is designed to provide actionable perspectives and spark new ideas for collaboration across the region. \n​Featured Panelists: \n​Dr. Hooman Rashidi\, Associate Dean of AI in Medicine\, Professor & Endowed Chair of Lombardi-Shinozuka Experimental Pathology Research\, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine \n​Michelle Skinner\, Chief Clinical Officer\, TeleTracking \n​Barr Von Oehsen\, Vice Chancellor for Research Computing\, University of Pittsburgh\, Director\, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center \n​Matthias Baumann\, Segment Leader Digital Solutions + Connectivity\, Philips \n​Annie Saunders (Moderator)\, Enterprise Editor\, Tech\, Morning Brew\, Inc. \n​RSVP by Wednesday\, May 13.\n			\n				Click here to register
