The pharmaceutical industry is entering a critical phase where scientific innovation, digital transformation, and strategic execution must align to deliver real business value. With global markets increasingly shaped by biologics, complex regulations, evolving technologies, and geopolitical challenges, pharma companies are under pressure to prioritize the right portfolios and execute projects with measurable impact. Addressing this industry-wide need, the Pharma Project & Portfolio Management Conference 2026 is set to return as one of the most influential leadership platforms in the sector.
Scheduled for February 4, 5, and 6, 2026, in Goa, the three-day flagship conference is organized by Eminence Business Media. The event will bring together senior portfolio and project management leaders, R&D strategists, PMO heads, digital transformation experts, and investment decision-makers from India and across the globe. The conference is designed to offer a comprehensive, 360-degree perspective on connecting strategic vision with execution excellence in modern pharmaceutical organizations.
A Three-Day Deep Dive into Pharma Strategy and Execution
The 2026 edition is structured around three focused themes, with each day dedicated to a critical pillar of pharmaceutical management.
Day 1: Portfolio Management Excellence
The opening day will focus on strategic foresight and innovation-led decision-making. Sessions will explore agile portfolio design, molecule selection frameworks, portfolio ROI measurement, intellectual property foresight, and governance models that balance short-term performance with long-term growth. Interactive simulation labs and fishbowl-style governance discussions will help delegates translate strategy and data into actionable outcomes.
Day 2: Integrated Portfolio & Project Strategy
Day two will bridge high-level strategy with on-ground delivery. Key discussions will cover digital PMOs, CapEx optimization, cross-functional program interdependencies, and alignment between R&D, manufacturing, and commercialization. With regulatory changes and geopolitical shifts influencing priorities, sessions will also focus on supply chain resilience, resource orchestration, and data-driven decision-making. Case study labs and live interactive polls will ensure a hands-on learning experience.
Day 3: Project Management Mastery
The final day will spotlight execution excellence and leadership in complex project environments. Topics include predictive risk management (Project Risk 4.0), change management in digital PMOs, AI-driven idea enablement, and leadership workshops simulating real-world project challenges. The conference will conclude with a high-impact CXO panel discussing the evolving role of the “Future Project Manager” as adaptive, analytical, and accountable.
Why the Conference Matters
