Harnessing omnichannel, AI, and beyond: Reimagining scientific publications

Artificial intelligence (AI) and omnichannel have come to seem mere buzzwords these days in the life sciences – everyone is talking about them, everyone wants to use them. But without knowledge of the fundamentals of correct implementation, following the trend means nothing. Nonetheless, with the right strategy and full understanding of what these two technologies offer in terms of business and customer needs, the benefits can be plentiful.

When it comes to the specifics of transforming scientific publications, though, where to begin?

In order to find out more, join us on Monday 13th November at 10am ET / 3pm GMT / 4pm CET for a webinar brought to you by the Healthcare Consultancy Group (HCG), a leading global group of healthcare communications agencies.

‘Harnessing Omnichannel, AI and beyond: Reimaging Scientific Publications’ will bring together industry panellists to share insights and lessons learned from their own professional lives on successful transformation with AI and omnichannel, and the hurdles that can occur along the way.

The discussion will explore key trends and their implications in the dynamic landscape of scientific publications concerning AI, omnichannel approaches, and also data amplification.

During this panel discussion, other key points to be addressed include:

• Opportunities to maximise the complementary effects of AI to enhance the impact/effectiveness of scientific publications.
• Developing effective omnichannel strategies to ensure scientific publication content is precisely reaching the right audience at the right time, utilising the desired channels.
• Optimising congress and journal enhancements to further extend the reach/accessibility of scientific content.

Register now to learn how to truly harness AI and omnichannel and take your scientific publication on its data-amplified journey.
