Philadelphia, PA
14 - 15 April 2026
Stop talking.
Start changing.
Pharma has become too comfortable. Drifting passively in familiar currents, passing the time easily in the corporate equivalent of a lazy river.
Yet the ecosystem around us is urgently morphing, pulsing violently with new life and fresh predators. To survive, pharma must transform: dissolve outdated structures, reshape thinking and adapt to new climates.
At Pharmageddon, we're forcing pharma into a new metamorphosis. This is the first event which is not just about talking, but about doing. Over two provocative days, we’ll challenge conventions, embrace discomfort, and reinvent our industry's DNA. This isn't an incremental step, it's biological and biblical, designed to catalyse breakthroughs, speed up adaptation and remember that patients can’t wait.
Join us if you're ready to mutate, evolve and emerge stronger.
“'What happens when you bring together healthcare, innovators, first movers and fast followers? Answer - Pharmageddon! I’ve had my preconceptions challenged and have been inspired by the many people driving to improve pharma’s role in health delivery.”
Alex Condoleon
Chief Medical Affairs Officer, Pfizer
“What an energizing week at Pharmageddon in Philadelphia! Grateful to Impatient Health for hosting such a boundary-pushing event and to all the incredible thought leaders from medical, access, commercial, and technology backgrounds who joined the conversation. My key takeaway? The future of pharma demands audacity—bold goals that capture attention, foster accountability, and drive real action.'”
Mark Montgomery
VP and International Head, Integrated Insights - Novartis
“Pharmageddon in Philadelphia was a bold, immersive dive into the future of pharma and innovation... the venue set the tone for what was a fresh, fearless rethinking of our industry’s biggest challenges. Built around the “4As” framework—Audacity, Attention, Accountability, and Action, the program emphasized that disruptive ideas demand bold ambition, capture attention, and inspire real, measurable change.'”
Aditi Tuteja
Senior Director - Sanofi
“Pharmageddon was for me a unique experience that allowed me to really speak to some of the fundamental challenges we face within the pharmaceutical industry. In our own ecosystems tied to deliverables and deadlines we lose sight of the bigger picture and often fail to inform our leadership of the challenges of the moment that may grow into existential crises in the future. I hope this event will help to spread some of the amazing ideas that germinated during this conference.'”
Damion Nero
Head of Data Science - Takeda
“Pharmageddon makes me realise I am not going crazy, there are other people that think like me in this industry and it gives me hope that things will change.”
Eliza King
Content Manager - Novo Nordisk
“Pharmageddon 2024 was the ultimate anti-conference – the antidote to the ordinary. Built to encourage interaction, eschew slides and presentations, design solutions, and appreciate art and inspiration, we arrived curious and departed inspired! Can’t wait for next year!”
Marilyn Metcalf
Global Vaccines Lead for Patient Engagement, GSK
“Pharmageddon Philadelphia was nothing short of electrifying—a bold, immersive dive into the future of pharma and innovation. Held at the creative Billy Penn Studios, the venue set the tone for a fresh, fearless rethinking of our industry’s biggest challenges.”

Pharmageddon is not a passive learning experience. We are not polite or quiet. This event demands active engagement from every participant.
After Pharmageddon, you’ll leave not just inspired, but also equipped with insights and ideas that could shape the future of healthcare.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT TODAYOur ‘solve’ sessions challenge attendees to think differently about the future through practical problem-solving exercises and speculative design. These will push boundaries and encourage deeper, collaborative thinking. Everyone contributes, sharing thoughts, exploring new ideas, and voicing concerns.
