The conference runs 16 to 17 June at the Hilton London Kensington. The setup combines technical sessions, speaker-led panels and exhibitor areas. The venue is well connected to central transport links in London.
Who attends and who speaks
Attendees include pharmacovigilance leaders, regulatory affairs specialists, clinical safety professionals, RWE teams and PV technology vendors. The speaker roster lists senior names such as Michael Ramcharan, Brian Edwards and Tobi Yusuf, reflecting a practitioner-oriented programme.

Commercial outreach and networking tactics
- Identify target companies ahead and request meetings with sponsor vendors focused on automation or data platforms.
- Bring concise case summaries that include metrics on time saved or quality gains from PV projects; technical audiences respond to measurable outcomes.
- Prioritise sessions on vendor oversight and audits to shortlist partners with compliance-aligned services.
- Use the conference app to schedule 20 to 30 minute demos and follow ups rather than ad hoc floor conversations.
