Why RWE Connect
A Generic RWE Conference vs RWE Connect
Not every real-world evidence event delivers the same return. Here is how a large, general conference compares with the focused, buyer-led model at RWE Connect 2026.
A Generic RWE Conference
- Thousands of mixed attendees, with buyers hard to identify
- Lecture-hall format with limited access to decision-makers
- Networking left to chance encounters and business cards
- A broad agenda spread thin across many adjacent topics
- Sponsorship measured in booth footfall and impressions
- Little visibility into who is actually in the room
RWE Connect 2026
- 150+ senior, screened buyers, around 60% Director or VP and above
- A dedicated Partnering Lounge built for 1:1 meetings
- Meetings pre-scheduled with the accounts you name
- A focused agenda on data, methods, HEOR and market access
- Sponsorship measured in qualified pipeline, not footfall
- A shared delegate list for warm, targeted follow-up

Real-World Data Companies: Common Questions
What are real-world data companies?
Organizations that source, curate and license real-world data such as electronic health records, administrative claims, disease registries, tokenized and linked data, and genomic data for research and regulatory-grade evidence.
What types of real-world data are there?
The main source types are electronic health records (EHR), administrative claims, disease and product registries, tokenized and linked data, genomic and molecular data, and patient-generated and wearable data.
What is the difference between real-world data and real-world evidence?
Real-world data (RWD) is the raw data collected from routine care and daily life. Real-world evidence (RWE) is the clinical evidence about a product’s use, benefits and risks that is derived from analysing that data.
Which real-world data companies are at RWE Connect 2026?
The confirmed sponsors span data and analytics providers including Truveta, Magnolia, Forian and Arcadia, and the agenda features data-source and methods sessions with 40+ speakers.
What should buyers look for in a real-world data partner?
Data provenance and governance, scale and recency, linkage and interoperability, regulatory-grade quality, representativeness of the population, and HIPAA-compliant privacy and de-identification.
Can my data company exhibit or sponsor?
Yes. Request the prospectus for exhibition, speaking and pre-scheduled 1:1 meeting options; pricing is shared on enquiry.
When and where is RWE Connect 2026?
14 to 15 October 2026 at the Hampton Inn by Hilton, Boston Seaport District, Boston, MA.
What are real-world data used for?
Common uses include regulatory submissions and label expansions, HEOR and market access, safety and pharmacovigilance, epidemiology and burden of illness, trial design and external control arms, and commercial and launch analytics.
What is tokenized or linked real-world data?
Tokenization replaces identifiers with a privacy-preserving token so the same patient can be connected across EHR, claims, lab and other sources without sharing protected health information, which enables end-to-end patient journeys.
What makes real-world data regulatory-grade or fit-for-purpose?
Documented provenance and lineage, validated quality, relevance to the research question, and transparency sufficient for FDA or HTA decisions under the real-world evidence framework.
How is RWE Connect different from a generic RWE conference?
RWE Connect is a focused, buyer-led event: 150+ screened senior buyers, a Partnering Lounge built for pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings, and sponsorship measured in qualified pipeline rather than booth footfall.
What do real-world data sponsors get at RWE Connect 2026?
Exhibition space and live data demos, speaking and panel opportunities, pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings with the accounts you name, the delegate list for follow-up, and brand exposure to 150+ real-world evidence buyers.
