About the Conference

PSI 2022 Conference

The PSI 2022 Conference was held between Sunday 12th to Wednesday 15th June 2022.

Regarded as the principal annual event for statisticians in the pharmaceutical industry and following on from our highly successful 2021 online conference, the 2022 PSI Conference took place at Gothia Towers in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The conference consisted of a variety of plenary and parallel sessions, as well as breakout discussion sessions, workshops, a poster session and the annual general meeting.

We had welcomed abstracts on any subject but with particular interest in the following:

Accelerating innovation (e.g. learnings from the pandemic)

Analysis of ‘big’ data

Analysis of safety data

Bayesian

Data visualisation and animation

Decision making

Design and analysis of adaptive trials

Estimands: methods, theory and case studies

Master protocols and platform trials

Non-clinical and early phase

Non-parametric

Use of external data

Career young statisticians (approximately less than 5 years working in the pharmaceutical industry) had the option to present in a dedicated contributed session alongside their peers. This was a great opportunity to gain experience in presenting in a friendly environment and to network with those of a similar experience at other companies.

We are pleased to share the 2022 Poster Prize Winners as:

Poster 1, Bischofberger et al, Staburo
Poster 9, Warham, Veramed
Poster 14, Dupuy, Pierre Fabre
Poster 18, Gorman, Pfizer

We are also very excited to share the winner of the annual exhibitor passport draw, providing the winner with free conference registration for an upcoming PSI Conference, congratulations to: Javier Bueno

We hope all attendees of the PSI 2022 Conference truly enjoyed their experience, the PSI 2023 Conference is currently underway with planning and we look forward to sharing further details on registration, programme and abstract launch in the near future.
