The CPHI Sustainability Summit is a more exclusive, targeted counterpart to the CPHI Milan show. With a focus on addressing the sustainability challenges the pharma industry faces, we’re looking forward to welcoming 300 decision-makers and stakeholders to the Summit, which will host a series of 20+ sessions, ranging from roundtables and interactive discussions, to expert-led working groups.
Armed with that knowledge and those insights, attendees can then attend CPHI Milan with a better idea of the kinds of connections and partnerships they need to make to achieve those goals.
Yes and no! The Sustainability Summit is a precursor event, and all passholders will have access to CPHI Milan. However, with smaller capacity, we encourage any dedicated sustainability stakeholders to attend the Summit and rejoin their colleagues with fresh insight to help them navigate the rest of CPHI Milan.
The CPHI Sustainability Summit and CPHI Milan are two complementary events, and leaders with a stake in sustainability are are strongly urged to attend both. While sustainability will be a hot topic at both events, the Summit is a smaller, more dedicated affair, which gives this critical issue a stage to itself. It will feature immersive content from inspirational keynotes to lightning pitches, workshops, focus groups and open mic sessions, designed to deliver tangible, commercially-driven results.
With 300 key figures from the pharma industry set to attend this year’s Summit, we’re anticipating an audience of changemakers who will be actively seeking partnerships with like-minded organisations. Explore our 5 sponsorship packages to find a range of activations that can help you achieve your lead generation and brand awareness goals far beyond the Summit’s headcount.
More than a conference, our packed agenda brings you everything from inspirational keynotes to lightning pitches, solutions labs and an exclusive Commitment Summit. With workshops, focus groups and open mic sessions, this agenda is designed to deliver tangible, commercially-driven takeaways.
