The ISPE San Francisco Bay Area Chapter is opening registration for the Discovery to Delivery: Digital Enablers Summit, a flagship full-day conference taking place February 5, 2027, at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The summit is expected to draw 200 to 300 life science professionals for a day of practical, technically grounded programming on AI and digital transformation across the full biotech and pharma value chain — from molecule discovery to commercial delivery.
The Digital Enablers Summit is the only day-long, multi-track summit in the Bay Area dedicated to practical digital transformation across the full CMC continuum; the event is designed for practitioners by practitioners. Attendees will choose from four parallel tracks spanning foundational AI literacy, product lifecycle applications, build environment and operations, and data and digital infrastructure. Our full-day conference will also include a keynote address, interactive working sessions, and an evening networking reception.
"This summit represents a strategic evolution for our chapter," said a spokesperson for ISPE San Francisco Bay Area. "We're moving beyond the traditional networking event to create a genuine thought-leadership platform — one that gives our members and the broader industry a practical, curated look at how AI and digital tools are reshaping every stage of the biotech and pharma value chain."

Four Tracks Across the Value Chain
Foundations Track
New to digital enablers? This is your safe space. Through hands-on workshops and interactive labs, you'll explore digital technologies transforming life sciences and understand how they fit into your work. Perfect for anyone who knows digital transformation is happening, but isn't sure where to start.
Product Lifecycle Track
From molecule to market, digital enablers are accelerating every stage of drug development. Explore how the next generation of lab automation, experimental data processing, and AI-assisted modelling are transforming discovery, process development, clinical development, and regulatory strategy.
Build Environment & Operations Track
Smart manufacturing, supply chains, and facilities are being reimagined through digital enablers. Computer vision, IoT sensors, predictive maintenance, and robotics are ushering in a new era in building, operating, and optimizing the physical infrastructure and processes that make and move product.
Data & Digital Infrastructure Track
This makes everything else possible. Modern data architectures break down data silos and create the digital infrastructure that enables all other digital enablers across your organization. Join the critical conversations about data strategy and governance shaping what's possible next.
