Agenda
Topic 1: Using AI as Your Personal Assistant
Speaker: Barry Moore | Company: RPS
AI assistants are everywhere — but most people are still using them as a glorified search engine. This session shows what becomes possible when you connect an AI model directly to your real systems: calendars, email, project trackers, and documents. Using Claude as a live personal executive assistant, Barry demonstrates how connectors link AI to live data sources, how reusable skills encode recurring workflows so you never solve the same problem twice, and how sub-agents handle parallel tasks autonomously in the background. The result is an assistant that doesn't just answer questions it takes action.
Topic 2: Forecasting Technologies with AI
Speaker: Cédric Druck | Company: Trail Zen
Accurate demand forecasting has always been one of the hardest problems in clinical supply chain management. This session surveys the current landscape of forecasting technologies and services — examining how traditional statistical methods are being augmented and, in some cases, replaced by machine learning models. Cédric will assess where the technology stands today, what the leading platforms and approaches currently offer, and where AI is taking the field — from more granular patient-level predictions to adaptive models that respond dynamically to protocol amendments and real-world enrolment shifts.
Topic 3: Agentic Process Execution
Speaker: Prashant Khare | Company: ZS
Clinical Supply Chain processes are often characterized by high complexity, fragmented handoffs, and critical execution dependencies across study teams, depots, CMOs, and digital systems. This session will showcase how Agentic Process Execution (APEX) applies AI to reconstruct real-world workflows using SOPs, stakeholder interviews, and system logs; uncover hidden decision pathways and operational bottlenecks; and translate them into agent-ready execution architectures. We will highlight how AI can move beyond task automation to enable process intelligence, workflow orchestration, and more responsive execution across Clinical Supply Chain operations.
Topic 4: From Sponsor Pain Point to One-Day IRT UAT: A Partnership-Driven Case Study
Speakers: Ryan Ridge, YPrime | Krisanne Flynn, Clinical Supply Consulting
As regulatory expectations for clinical trial systems continue to evolve, sponsors and IRT/ RTSM providers are under pressure to deliver faster validation without compromising quality. In this session, YPrime and Clinical Supply Consulting present a real-world case study in which a sponsor needed UAT to be completed in a single day, and how a partnership approach enabled a risk-based, audit-ready solution. Framed against global regulatory guidance, the discussion focuses on practical lessons learned, best practices, and how strategic partnerships can help organizations meet RTSM validation challenges in an efficient and defensible environment.
