As a visionary and entrepreneur in this over 2 trillion dollar industry, Tal foresaw the need for an annual forum where the key stakeholders from around the world in precision medicine from business, government, healthcare, research, technology and finance, could gather to build collaborations, remove obstacles, and catalyze change in healthcare delivery for patients in the US and around the globe. Thirteen years later, PMWC has now grown to welcome more than 2500 attendees, 800 companies, 420 speakers, and 100 exhibitors to its annual gathering. In 2013 due to global interest, PMWC was expanded to Israel, in 2015 to the United Kingdom. With the maturation of Precision Medicine, an additional US Conference will be added on the east coast in 2017 to Duke, 2018 the University of Michigan, and in 2020 The University of Pittsburgh Tal established the coveted PMWC Pioneer and Luminary Awards, which are presented annually to those who have made significant contributions to moving the field of Precision Medicine forward. Awardees have included Albert Bourla, Jim Allison, Jennifer Doudna, Francis Collins, George Church, Brian Druker, Craig Venter and more. https://www.pmwcintl.com/awards/.A popular benefit for entrepreneurs is an interactive platform through which early startups can get critical exposure and often a boost of support to reach their next level in business. And attendees are given a peek into what just may be an important addition to the future of healthcare. Reflecting the needs and preferences of attendees, Tal adds innovation in topics and format to the conference every year, keeping it dynamic and relevant. But what remains constant is that PMWC is the annual touchstone event where on stage and off, the future of Precision Medicine is forged.
