Why 6th Operationalize: Expanded Access Programs is the Must-Attend Event for Global Access Leaders in 2026
As global efforts intensify to deliver life-changing medicines to patients sooner, one event continues to serve as the leading forum for advancing best practice, strategy, and collaboration: the 6th Annual Operationalize: Expanded Access Programs Summit. After years of uniting experts across pharma, biotech, CROs, and service providers, the summit has become the essential gathering for those committed to scaling ethical, equitable access to therapies worldwide.
A Comprehensive Forum for Every Stage of Expanded Access
This meeting is designed to address the full lifecycle of Expanded Access Programs, from regulatory navigation and global supply operations to real-world data strategy and patient engagement. Whether you’re exploring EAP pathways for the first time or managing complex, multi-region programs, you’ll gain practical insights that can be applied immediately.
Unparallel Access to Expertise and the EAPs Community
This summit gathers 140+ leaders and expert speakers from across pharma, biotech, CROs, patient-advocacy organizations, and service providers - all under one roof. With a proven track record of bringing together C-level and operational stakeholders, the event offers a rare opportunity to exchange experiences, benchmark approaches, and forge partnerships that carry real impact.
Whether you're steering early-access programs, managing global supply logistics, or shaping data-driven evidence strategies, you'll find colleagues and peers facing the same challenges, sharing hard-won lessons and success stories.
In addition to the comprehensive agenda, attendees gain access to a uniquely collaborative environment designed to spark open dialogue and problem-solving.
Roundtable discussions, small-group breakout sessions, and topic-focused networking opportunities allow participants to dive deeper into the real operational and regulatory barriers that shape EAP decision-making. These intimate formats give you the chance to connect directly with experts who have built, scaled, and optimized programs across diverse regions and therapeutic areas.
Strategic Conversations That Drive Action
This meeting goes beyond standard conference or exhibition. The agenda is structured to facilitate meaningful, actionable discussions, not just high-level overviews. Through workshops, interactive sessions and real-world case studies, the summit fosters collaboration and provides a platform to co-design solutions. This is where strategy meets execution, and where attendees walk away with concrete plans and tools to accelerate patient access responsibly and at scale.
A Unique Cross-Sector Networking Environment
In a field as fragmented and regulated as global access and expanded access programs, finding common ground, and trusted partners can be difficult. This summit offers a cross-sectoral gathering: pharma companies working alongside biotech, service providers, regulatory experts and patient-focused organisations. The result is a rare environment for building long-term collaborations, learning from diverse perspectives, and shaping best practice across regions and therapy areas.
