SAS at PHUSE APAC Connect
Accelerate Clinical Research on SAS Viya
19–21 February 2026
Novotel Hyderabad International Convention Centre
Gen AI and large language models (LLMs) have been at the forefront of innovation over the past two years. Today, process optimization and automation are top priorities for many of our Clinical Operations customers. The challenge now lies in leveraging these technologies within clinical research environments—where reliability and repeatability are paramount. It is essential to keep Clinical Scientists actively involved in the decision-making loop.
These are the conversations we are eager to engage in with our long-standing PHUSE community and sees how SAS evolve its capabilities to deliver high-value, agentic AI-powered enhancements to a modern, multi-lingual and compliancy-enabling Stat Computing Environment or SCE.
Dr. Mark Lambrecht
Sr. Director, Global Health and Life Sciences at SAS
Statistical computing environments (SCEs) are essential for modern drug development. In our highly regulated industry, teams need tools that balance innovation with compliance.
SAS® Viya® provides the secure, reliable foundation needed to integrate AI and open source while maintaining data integrity.
Join us on 19–21 February , to learn more about how we’re partnering with organizations like yours to drive stronger, better outcomes in the life sciences industry.
Learn how we can help you implement AI, machine learning, cloud computing, simulation, and more advanced data and AI techniques that empower you to:
- Modernize clinical trials and improve operational efficiency.
- Democratize data access and analytics within your organization.
- Derive value from real-world data and improve patients’ lives.
- Create valid, robust strategies across both open source and closed loop systems.
- Take analytics to the cloud and scale for complex simulations and big data computations.
SAS Hands-on workshop
From Code to High-Speed Clinical Submission: Hands-on with the Modernised SCE Platform Augmented with Agent
The clinical programming landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. With increasing demands for speed, transparency, and automation in clinical trials, programmers are being called to evolve from code developers to data scientists. SAS is leading this transformation with powerful new tools designed to accelerate clinical workflows—without compromising quality or compliance.
Join us for a 90-minute hands-on workshop at PHUSE APAC 2026 where you’ll experience this evolution firsthand. This session is built for programmers who want to explore the future of modernised SCE platforms. You’ll get to roll up your sleeves and work directly with CDISC data, walking through a practical exercise that spans from raw data to submission-ready outputs. Whether you're new to these tools or looking to deepen your expertise, this workshop will offer actionable insights and real-time practice.
We’ll also show how agents can help accelerate submissions and boost your efficiency.
This is not just a demo. It’s your chance to test-drive the tools shaping the future of clinical programming. Come curious, leave empowered.
Please note: Hands-on access to the environment is limited to 20–30 people only, which is limited to those that have pre-registered and is available on a first come first serve basis.
