Welcome to the Industry’s Largest Drug Development Initiative for the Pulmonary Fibrosis Community
Harness Emerging Biological Understanding, Apply Novel & Evolving Models & Assess Patient Populations to Propel Innovative & Efficacious Pulmonary Fibrosis Therapeutics Through Phase 2 & BeyondÂ
The 8th IPF Summit returned for its 8th year as the go-to, end-to-end gathering of pulmonary fibrosis drug developers, clinicians and academic thought leaders all dedicated to bringing better drugs to patients faster. Â
In a year marked by high-profile and unexpected failures, the industry was at a pivotal juncture and every player was focused on maximizing and safeguarding their candidates. Â
At the 8th IPF Summit, not only did we acknowledge this turbulence, we dove headfirst into it with a bold agenda designed to understand the root causes of the failures that rocked the industry and extract invaluable lessons from previous executives of those companies.Â
But we’re not just focused on looking back, we're eager to pave the way for a future of progress. With new candidates, technologies and research all emerging rapidly, the summit serves as the definitive platform for all pulmonary fibrosis drug developers to uncover progress, year after year. Â
From dynamic panel discussions to interactive workshops and exclusive data driven case studies, we provided an unmissable forum to collaborate, address, and seek solutions.Â
