In 2019, PMWC replaced the PMWC Most Promising Company Competition with the PMWC Showcase. The PMWC Showcase provides an exciting opportunity for a selected number of companies, healthcare providers, and researchers to present their latest breakthrough technologies, new applications, and approaches in 15-minute modules to a target audience of potential clients, commercial partners, and research collaborators.
PMWC Showcases are group thematically:
- AI and Data Sciences Showcase
- Clinical Dx Showcase
- Clinical & Research Tools Showcase
- Emerging Therapeutics Showcase
- Genomic Profiling Showcase
- Health Monitoring Showcase
- Immunotherapy Showcase
- Liquid Biopsy Showcase
- Microbial Profiling Showcase
- Wellness and Aging Showcase
“Without PMWC’s initiative and support of getting us all together in one room to share and connect through discussions and exchange of ideas related to the progress, roadblocks, and next steps in Precision Medicine, our individual efforts could hardly ever combine effectively and synergistically to have as big of an impact on the field. PMWC events and showcases are pivotal in advancing precision medicine for patients.”

Emerging Therapeutics Showcase
The PMWC Emerging Therapeutics Showcase will provide a 15-minute time slot for selected companies and researchers in the CRISPR, Cell and Gene Therapy fields. Major advancements in safer cell- and gene-level editing technologies are bringing us closer toward cures for life-threatening disorders, from cancer to HIV to Huntington’s disease. Cell therapy, in which cellular material such as T cells capable of fighting cancer cells, is injected into a patient, has been demonstrated safe and effective. The popular new CRISPR tool that has been used to edit the genetic code of nearly any organism will have an enormous impact on human health. More than a dozen clinical trials employing CRISPR on human cells are already underway.
Showcases List
Genomic Profiling Showcase
The PMWC 2020 Genomic Profiling Showcase will provide a 15 min speaking opportunity for selected companies working with the latest technologies in nucleic acid sequencing such as NGS, providing instrumentation for genomic sequencing, and offering direct to consumer services. These companies will share their innovative products and services to an audience of leading investors, potential clients and partners. The Genomic Profiling Showcase will exhibit the latest innovations in methods and instruments used for DNA/ RNA sequencing to ascertain the genomic and transcriptional profile of a person in order to understand why some people get certain diseases while others do not, or why people react in different ways to the same drug. This information is also being used to develop new ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent diseases, such as cancer.
Showcases List
Health Monitoring Showcase
The PMWC 2020 Health Monitoring Showcase will provide 15 minute speaking opportunities for selected companies working with the latest technologies in remote patient and care monitoring, providing devices that are smart and integrated with high-touch approaches, sensors, data collection and analytical capabilities translating patient vital signs into useful insights and alert triggers. These companies will share their innovative products to an audience of leading investors, potential clients, and partners. The PMWC 2019 Health Monitoring Showcase will exhibit the latest innovations that lead to products, systems, and services that empower patients with chronic conditions to better understand and self-manage their conditions and provide clinicians with easy, efficient monitoring that enhance patients’ lives and enable the delivery of better outcomes at lower cost.
Showcases List
Immunotherapy Showcase
The PMWC 2020 Immunotherapy Showcase will provide a 15-minute time slot for selected immunotherapy companies to present their latest technologies and advancements to an audience of leading investors, potential clients, and partners. We will hear from companies building new cell-based immunotherapies, work in the growing area of cancer vaccines, that help understand the relevance of the tumor microenvironment, accelerate the patient selection process, or otherwise work towards overcoming to challenges related to therapeutic discovery.
Showcases List
Liquid Biopsy Showcase
The PMWC 2020 Liquid Biopsy Showcase will provide a 15-minute time slot for selected liquid biopsy companies to present their latest technologies to an audience of leading investors, potential clients, and partners. We will hear from companies that advance the development of screening tests for oncology, immunotherapy, and other areas, based on detection and identification of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating RNA, circulating microRNAs, or extracellular vesicle (exosomes).
Showcases List
Microbial Profiling Showcase
The PMWC 2020 Microbial Profiling Showcase will provide a 15-minute time slot for selected companies in the Microbiome and Pathogen ID fields.
