The world has changed in front of us. The COVID-19 crisis has created one of the most challenging business environments in living memory. Never more than now has pharma had to step up.
Yet, with every challenge comes opportunity. We’ve seen a culture of innovation spread across our industry like never before. Countless 10-year visions turn into 10-week strategies, accelerated digital roadmaps across the lifecycle, and a new openness to collaboration across stakeholders.
Bringing together healthcare’s brightest innovators and pharma’s decision-makers, Pharma Europe (previously eyeforpharma Barcelona) is where we will set the roadmap for a new era of pharma. One where pharma, patients, providers and society are united in their efforts of greater patient value.
2021 may well be the year of the vaccine, but we are now in the decade of pharma’s reimagination.

In March 2020, as the world was forced into lockdown, for the first time Pharma Europe was not located in Barcelona. Instead, over the course of just 3 weeks, we pivoted to deliver the 10,000+ attendee event completely virtually, with the aim of connecting the industry in its time of great isolation.
With over 15,000 virtual attendees signed-up in those 21 days, the appetite and desire to come together, share ideas and collaborate at such a complicated and busy time had never been higher. It was a truly humbling experience.
Over 5 days, we delivered 150+ presentations, panels and interactive sessions from 100+ speakers and sponsors to their newly built home offices around the world.
