European hospital pharmacy is navigating rapid technological and regulatory shifts. That context shapes EAPH Congress 2027 which takes place from 17 to 19 March 2027 in Barcelona at the CCIB - Centre Convencions Internacional Barcelona.
Dates and venue for EAPH Congress 2027
The congress runs over three days from 17 to 19 March 2027 at the CCIB. The venue combines auditoria for scientific sessions with an exhibition area designed for technical demos and B2B meetings.
Who organizes and the attendee profile
The association represents over 30,000 hospital pharmacists across 37 member countries and runs scientific and education committees. Attendees include clinical and hospital dispensary pharmacists, pharmacy directors, clinical researchers and hospital procurement managers. This mix creates an environment where manufacturers of complex medicines, automation vendors and clinical service providers connect with clinical decision makers.
Program highlights and activity mix
Official information lists programme, registration and exhibitor details. The congress features abstract submissions, GPI presentations, accreditation and sessions to update practice. A blend of scientific presentations, poster sessions and an exhibition zone makes it efficient to compare solutions on advanced therapies, biologic medicines handling and pharmacy process digitalization.
Practical tips for B2B prospecting in Barcelona
-
Target by clinical responsibility. Focus on hospitals with clinical pharmacy teams and advanced therapy services when pitching high-value solutions.
-
Bring technical one-pagers and short case studies. Decision makers prefer concise evidence of impact on patient safety or operational efficiency over generic messaging.
-
Schedule meetings ahead. Use exhibitor lists and session timings to propose short meetings between relevant sessions and offer 15-minute demos at your stand.
-
Document regulatory fit. For biologics and advanced therapies provide clear notes on storage, cold chain and traceability which often determine procurement decisions.
