Description

Harness Emerging Biological Understanding, Apply Novel & Evolving Models & Assess Patient Populations to Propel Innovative & Efficacious Pulmonary Fibrosis Therapeutics Through Phase 2 & Beyond 

The 8th IPF Summit returns for its 8th year as the go-to, end-to-end gathering of pulmonary fibrosis drug developers, clinicians and academic thought leaders all dedicated to bringing better drugs to patients faster.  

In a year marked by high-profile and unexpected failures, the industry is at a pivotal juncture and every player is focused on maximizing and safeguarding their candidates.  

At the 8th IPF Summit, we're not just acknowledging the turbulence, we're diving headfirst into it with a bold agenda designed to understand the root causes of the failures that rocked the industry and extract invaluable lessons from previous executives of those companies. 

But we’re not just focused on looking back, we're eager to pave the way for a future of progress. With new candidates, technologies and research all emerging rapidly, the summit serves as the definitive platform for all pulmonary fibrosis drug developers to uncover progress.  

From dynamic panel discussions to interactive workshops and exclusive data driven case studies, we're not just acknowledging the ever-present challenges but providing a forum to collaborate address and seek solutions. 

Partner Voices
MGM Resorts is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture, not just among employees and guests but also within its supply chain. The company prioritizes procuring goods and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals and those facing economic disadvantages. This commitment is integral to MGM Resorts' global procurement strategy.    Through its voluntary supplier diversity program, MGM Resorts actively identifies and connects certified diverse-owned suppliers to opportunities within its supply chain. The company is on track to spend at least 15% of its biddable procurement with diverse-owned businesses by 2025, demonstrating that supplier diversity is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative.    Supplier diversity isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for business. A diverse supply chain allows access to a broader range of perspectives and experience, helping to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience, while strengthening communities. At MGM Resorts, engaging diverse suppliers ensures best-in-class experiences for guests and clients. Supplier diversity ensures a more resilient supply chain while supporting economic development in the communities in which it operates.   The impact of MGM Resorts' supplier diversity initiatives is significant. In 2023, these efforts supported over 3,500 jobs across more than 30 states, contributed over $214 million in income for diverse-owned businesses and generated more than $62 million in tax revenue. The story extends beyond the numbers – it reflects the tangible benefits brought to small and diverse-owned businesses, fostering economic empowerment in their communities.    MGM Resorts also supports the development and business skills of diverse-owned businesses through investment, mentorship and education. Through the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, the company identifies, mentors and develops diverse-owned businesses to fill its future pipeline, while providing businesses with tools and resources to empower and uplift. Since 2017, the program has successfully graduated 105 diverse-owned businesses and is on track to achieve its goal of 150 graduates by 2025.     MGM Resorts’ commitment to supplier diversity not only enhances its business operations but also plays a crucial role in uplifting communities and fostering economic development. This approach reinforces the idea that diversity is a powerful driver of innovation and resilience, benefiting both the company and the wider community.
