Who's Designing the Conference Agenda? Over 80 Industry Disruptors Gather for the First Time

May 31,2026

Over 80 curators are shaping the direction of the conference with their vision and leveraging their industry credibility to build momentum, jointly laying the content foundation for an Eastern home ground.

 

The soul of a conference lies not in its scale, but in its agenda; the depth of its agenda lies not in the topics, but in who defines the topics.

 

China's new drug circle has no shortage of conferences. What it lacks is a forum where true innovators at the industry's forefront personally design the content, define the boundaries of discussion, and control the quality of output. CPIC 2026 offers a different answer: TONACEA invites the definers of the tracks to become special session curators.

 

Over 80 curators are shaping the direction of the conference with their vision and leveraging their industry credibility to build momentum, jointly laying the content foundation for an Eastern home ground.
