+971 55 372 1525The International Conference of Pharmacy and Medicine, or ICPM, has positioned itself as one of the most practically focused gatherings for the pharmaceutical and healthcare community in the MENA region. Held annually at the Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park, it operates under the theme of building a culture of innovation and technology in pharma and healthcare, which gives you a good sense of what the event is actually about: less theoretical, more action-oriented.
What makes ICPM stand out from the typical pharma conference circuit is its strong emphasis on entrepreneurship, regulatory affairs, and direct business development. The event is not just a place to sit through presentations but a genuine platform for building commercial connections. B2B matchmaking sessions, university-industry linkages, and workshops around GCC regulatory affairs all give attendees a tangible way to move their work forward during the three days.
The audience is deliberately broad. Government representatives, hospital decision-makers, pharma manufacturers, distributors, researchers, investors, and university faculties all come together under one roof, which creates a productive mix that is harder to find at more narrowly focused events. Student and university competitions add an educational layer that keeps the next generation of pharmacy and medicine professionals connected to the industry's bigger picture.
The 2026 edition ran under the theme of Building a Culture of Innovation and Technology in Pharma/Healthcare, with sessions covering topics from community pharmacy practice and anti-obesity medications to nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems. Whether you are looking to understand the regulatory landscape, find distribution partners, or simply connect with the right people in the regional healthcare ecosystem, ICPM provides a compact but well-structured environment to do exactly that.
