    About the event

    An exclusive evening during CPHI Milan 2026

    QbD Group is hosting a customer networking event during CPHI Milan 2026 (6 to 8 October), for contacts who are also attending the trade show. It is a smaller, invite-only setting where conversations can go further than they usually do on the exhibition floor.

    The focus of the evening is getting access to the EU market: the regulatory, clinical and market entry considerations that determine whether a product can successfully enter Europe, and where companies most often lose time.

    The programme combines a short expert presentation with relaxed networking over drinks and a walking dinner, hosted jointly by QbD Group and Newmarket Strategy.
