What to expect at the 2023 MM+M Media Summit

MM+M will stage its second in-person Media Summit tomorrow at Convene in New York City. The all-day affair brings together the sharpest minds and personalities in the healthcare media landscape as well as leading execs from the medical marketing world.

Pharma companies participating in the event include Pfizer, Bristol Myers Squibb, Ferring Pharmaceuticals and GSK spinoff Haleon. Among the many media luminaries set to attend, Univision’s chief medical correspondent Dr. Juan Rivera will be on hand to deliver the keynote address.

This year’s event will center on similar themes, with panels dedicated to health equity in media, strategies for efficient TV ad spend, tips for personalizing content at the point of care and efforts to combat medical disinformation.
