MAPA Summit unpacks leadership in the age of AI

The 2026 MAPA Medical Affairs Summit is underway with more than 300 industry professionals gathering at the International Conference Centre in Darling Harbour for two days of career building.

Adding to the packed agenda of talks and workshops, this year for the first time the MAPA Medical Excellence Awards ceremony will be a part of the Summit, dedicated to recognising and celebrating excellence, leadership, and meaningful impact in Medical Affairs across Australasia. Across both events, a record-breaking 340 professionals will attend.

"We think that is quite fitting given this year's theme: Collaborative Minds, Strong Partnerships, Shared Vision: Delivering Impact," MAPA President, Jodi Tainton, told Pharma in Focus.
