- LogiPharma, the leading global event for life sciences supply chain professionals, has announced a major overhaul of the format for 2026 under the leadership of new event director, Ben Sharples. The revamped edition will offer a range of interactive elements designed to enhance attendee engagement – including Oxford-style debates, modular roundtables, and real-time audience polls.
- After four years in France, the event will be moved to the Austria Center in Vienna, providing more than 26,000 square meters of space to expand communication and content. LogiPharma 2026 will include two parallel tracks – Supply Chain and Logistics – with joint plenary sessions and peer-to-peer sessions specifically designed for pharmaceutical manufacturers, logistics service providers and technology innovators.
The LogiPharma Global Life Sciences Supply Chain Conference has announced a brand new series of interactive formats for 2026 under the leadership of incoming event director, Ben Sharples.
Ben commented: “This year’s event is bigger and bolder than ever, reflecting an exciting new direction with attendee interaction and collaboration at its core. Supply chain leaders, logistics experts and pharma innovators from around the world will come together to exchange ideas and define the future of the life sciences supply chain, and we’ve created a range of new formats designed to energize those conversations.”
The world’s leading supply chain event for life sciences also has a new home; After four consecutive years in France, LogiPharma 2026 will be hosted at the Austria Center in Vienna. Located in the heart of Europe, Vienna is known for its rich medical history and provides the perfect setting for the event of the year, with the Austria Center offering over 26,000 square meters of space for visitors and exhibitors.
The exhibition itself will present two interconnected experiences, LogiPharma Supply Chain and LogiPharma Logistics. Joint plenary sessions and networking opportunities will allow global professionals from all areas of supply chain to participate, while separate tracks and peer-to-peer boardrooms will provide the opportunity for specialist deep dives into supply chain and logistics topics respectively.
Both tracks will feature new formats based on attendee feedback. These sessions will include interactive panels and Oxford-style audience-led discussions, designed to spark conversation and encourage attendee engagement, as well as peer-to-peer benchmarking opportunities through brand new roundtables, company group sessions and mini-briefs. Session facilitators will be present during these events, ensuring attendees receive practical information and immediate, real-world value.
In addition, the LogiPharma Academy will offer a series of practical training courses designed to provide attendees with practical experience. Sessions will cover a range of topics, and have been developed to future-proof participants’ expertise, with AI, data and programming among the key topics.
Ben added:
“We have placed attendee feedback at the heart of LogiPharma 2026, and as a result we have completely reworked plenary formats to make them more engaging and relevant. Using polling technology, we will create interactive, visually impactful presentations and discussions to deliver real thought leadership and exchange for the life sciences community.”
“LogiPharma is a landmark event in the global pharmaceutical calendar, and taking on the role of Director has been both an honor and a challenge. The agenda will be launched in early 2026, and I am very excited to respond to the range of topics and speakers we are preparing for attendees.”
