Streamline cross-functional collaboration, navigate regulatory complexity & harness AI to ensure your team meet launch performance goals

The Pharmaceutical Launch Excellence Summit is Europe’s premier and only forum dedicated exclusively to tackling the biggest challenges facing launch excellence teams today.  

Now in its third year, #PHLEX 2026 brings together a growing community of launch excellence leaders at a time when translating launch strategy into measurable performance has never been more critical.  

The launch landscape in 2026 is more complex than ever. With regulations such as The Most Favoured Nation reshaping global pricing strategies, ithe need to deliver measurable performance from day one, even the strongest launch strategies are being tested.  

Uniting biopharma’s most forward-thinking professionals, we will explore what truly defines launch success today, from real-world examples of AI integration across the launch value chain and navigating regulatory complexity, to driving cross-functional alignment at scale.

Featuring speakers from Merck, Bristol Myers Squibb, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Bayer and more, attendees will gain exclusive insights into the successes, challenges, and lessons learned behind some of the industry’s most impactful launches.

Join the #PHLEX community this December to benchmark your approach, pressure-test your strategy, and optimise launch performance in 2026 and beyond.

Senior leaders and innovators from across the pharmaceutical industry.

Why PHLEX Exists

The traditional launch playbook no longer works
PHLEX brings senior pharma leaders together to share what’s actually working today and build launch strategies fit for a far more complex landscape.


What Makes PHLEX Different 

Built for leaders who own the launch
Grounded in real‑world launch experience, PHLEX focuses on commercial impact and brings together a senior, decision‑making audience for honest, practical conversations.


What You’ll Walk Away With 

You’ll leave with clearer direction for navigating complex launch environments, practical frameworks for aligning teams, fresh approaches to driving uptake and long‑term value, and a stronger peer network facing the same launch pressures.

Who You’ll Meet 

PHLEX brings together senior leaders across launch excellence, brand and commercial strategy, market access and pricing, medical affairs, and patient engagement—all focused on one goal: delivering launches that outperform expectations.
