7:55 am Chair’s Opening Remarks
Integrating AI into the Future of EHS Leadership, Culture, & Operations
8:00 am Session Reserved for Deloitte
8:30 am Predict, Prevent, Protect: Responsible AI for Risk & Lab Safety
- Using predictive analytics to identify incident precursors, SIF trends, and emerging hazards to turn lagging metrics into leading insight
- Comparing global standards to local SOPs with AI to detect documentation gaps and enhance audit readiness
- Exploring AI ergonomics/PIV monitoring use cases while setting privacy, HR, and “no-punitive surveillance” guardrails
9:00 am Dynamic Risk Landscapes Warrant Dynamic Approaches
- Comprehensive suite of operations, EHS, and quality tools built for the modern biotech
- Insights into how biosafety is evolving with new modalities, guidelines, and regulations
- See live how Aclid manages end-to-end, dynamic, and risk-informed biosafety workflows with computational tools and AI
9:10 am Roundtable Discussion: Lean Teams, Smart Tools: Practical AI Uplift for EHS Operations
- Capturing and structuring legacy expertise through AI-powered knowledge libraries to retain institutional memory amid workforce change
- Personalizing training, procedures, and communication through adaptive AI tools that connect relevance (“why it matters to me”) to safety behaviour
- Leveraging AI for prioritization, workload optimisation, and decision support, while maintaining interpretive oversight, human accountability, and global-local flexibility
10:00 am Speed Networking, Morning Break & Refreshments
A prime chance to make the most of in-person networking and forge new connections as new companies enter and existing ones broaden their presence within the EHS for biopharma space. This is designed to maximize your exposure to a wide range of new individuals and serve as a catalyst for ongoing discussions throughout the summit.
Tackling the Lack of Qualified EHS Professionals & Implementing Mindset Based Training for Enhanced Uptake & Continued Engagement
11:00 am Beyond the Checkbox: Re-energising EHS Training for Real Engagement & Lasting Impact
- Explore how traditional compliance-driven, click-through training models have become disengaging and ineffective, and how biopharma leaders are re-designing learning through mixed-modal approaches including in-person sessions, AI-enhanced voice content, and interactive sustainability modules such as My Green Lab
- Demonstrate how dynamic, measurable training can build true behavioural change, improve knowledge retention, and integrate non-regulatory opportunities like sustainability into everyday lab culture
- Discuss practical frameworks to balance digital efficiency with human connection, ensuring EHS training is not only compliant but also inspiring, data-driven, and capable of transforming workplace culture
11:40 am Roundtable Discussion: Embedding Behaviour-Based Safety in Biopharma Culture
- Explore how to translate EHS training into consistent, observable safety behaviours that reduce human error and strengthen trust across teams
- Share practical techniques for constructive communication, peer coaching, and intervening on unsafe acts without confrontation or blame
- Discuss how to measure and sustain behavioural engagement over time, ensuring safety habits persist across shifting teams and evolving operations
12:30 pm Lunch & Networking Break
Human-Centred Safety: Integrating Ergonomics & Mental Health into the Core of Biopharma EHS
1:30 pm Bridging the Gap Between Front-Line Safety & Executive Priorities to Create a Culture of Shared Accountability & Lasting Engagement
- Highlighting the gap between operational safety efforts and executive priorities driven by production, deadlines, and shareholder value
- Exploring tiered management systems and cross-functional safety committees that foster accountability at every level as a strategy to win leadership engagement by aligning EHS outcomes with business performance, modelling visible commitment, and embedding safety goals into leadership routines and communications
- Transforming leadership support from passive endorsement to active sponsorship by creating a cascading culture where safety, wellbeing, and performance reinforce each other across the organization
2:00 pm From Compliance to Intelligence: The Digital Evolution of EHS Programs
The New Era of Digital EHS
- Connect EHS workflows, chemical inventory, and compliance to scale research without losing safety oversight.
- Reduce compliance risk and audit pressure with a unified digital approach that doesn’t add work for scientists.
- See how SciSure + Safety Partners embed EHS directly into lab operations for real-time visibility and audit-ready records.
2:10 pm Afternoon Networking Break & Refreshments
2:30 pm Panel Discussion: Building a Unified Approach to Contractor & Supply Chain Safety in Biopharma
- Explore how fragmented standards, inconsistent oversight, and cost-driven pressures across contractors and suppliers create vulnerabilities in EHS performance, addressing prequalification, third-party assurance, and the opportunity for industrywide alignment on safety expectations and ethical contracting
- Demonstrate how collaboration across biopharma companies can establish shared standards, reduce duplication, and strengthen cultural consistency across complex global supply chains
- Gain strategies to implement unified contractor management frameworks, balance cost and safety incentives, and foster long-term partnerships that enhance both compliance and worker wellbeing
3:30 pm Roundtable Discussion: Competence, Culture, & Communication for New Biopharma Frontiers
• How can EHS and operations teams build competency pipelines and use AI-assisted knowledge retrieval to accelerate readiness when programmes pivot rapidly to new modalities like vaccines, radiopharma, or gene therapy?
• In an environment of clinical uncertainty, staffing churn, and contractor variability, what practical rituals or leadership behaviours help sustain a consistent safety culture and psychological stability across teams?
• How can early-stage EHS engagement de-risk environmental and permitting challenges, particularly for waste, water, and infrastructure, to ensure smoother tech transfer and operational continuity across sites?
