Future-Focused. Impact-Driven.
The Future Is Human: Steady Leadership in an Unsteady World
In a sector defined by complexity, rapid change, and growing uncertainty, confident and human-centred leadership matters more than ever.
The European Leadership Summit is a high-impact convening that brings together healthcare and life sciences leaders from across Europe to strengthen judgement, exchange insight, and turn strategy into action.
Join peers shaping what comes next — and leave ready to deliver lasting impact with clarity and confidence.
Why Attend the HBA European Leadership Summit 2026?
Because the challenges you face are not theoretical — and neither are the decisions.
At ELS, you will:
- Strengthen your strategic judgement in a complex, fast-moving environment
- Gain practical frameworks you can apply immediately
- Exchange perspectives with peers leading across diverse European markets
- Explore what’s next for healthcare and life sciences — and your role within it
ELS is designed to give you both perspective and practicality. You will leave with sharper thinking, stronger connections, and greater confidence in the decisions ahead.
Future-focused leadership starts here.
Who Should Attend
The European Leadership Summit is designed for leaders across healthcare and life sciences who are navigating complexity, growth, and change, including:
- Senior executives and functional leaders
- Leaders with cross-market or regional responsibility
- Emerging leaders expanding their strategic influence
- Professionals shaping policy, innovation, and organisational performance
If you are making decisions with long-term impact — for your organisation, your teams, or the broader health ecosystem — this Summit is designed for you.
The European Leadership Summit Experience
ELS is a high-impact leadership convening — not a traditional conference.

The Summit is intentionally designed to foster:
- Meaningful cross-border and cross-functional exchange
- Trusted, senior-level dialogue
- Connections that extend beyond the event
This is a curated environment where the quality of conversation — and the diversity of insight — matters.
