About the Conference
NSF is pleased to announce its 4th annual Pharma Biotech Conference, taking place on 19 November 2026 at the Royal Society of Chemistry in London. Building on the success of the 2023, 2024 and 2025 events, this year's conference returns with its most ambitious and forward-looking program yet and forms part of the inaugural NSF Summit Series.
This year's theme is "From Compliance to Resilience: How Companies Can Build Quality Systems That Withstand Disruption." Pharma and biotech organizations are operating in an environment shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, changing global trade dynamics, supply chain pressure, digital disruption, workforce challenges and increasing scrutiny around product quality and patient safety. The conference will explore how leaders can move beyond compliance and build quality systems, leadership approaches and operating models that remain effective under pressure.

You will hear perspectives from NSF subject matter experts as well as invited industry speakers from global pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology organizations, CDMOs and regulatory bodies working at the sharp end of quality, validation, manufacturing and regulatory decision-making.
