PharmagoraPlus, France’s leading retail pharmacy trade show for over 39 years, is much more than just a professional event: it is a key opportunity for networking, discussion, and reflection on the evolution of the profession.

In this context, the steering committee plays a vital role in ensuring the consistency, quality, and relevance of the content in PharmagoraPlus’s program. As the primary guardian of the event’s strategic direction, it brings together experts, institutional partners, and key industry stakeholders. Thanks to its commitment, PharmagoraPlus has become an inspiring platform where licensed pharmacists, assistant pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and healthcare professionals can learn, discover innovations, and prepare for the future in a friendly atmosphere dedicated to excellence.

The steering committee’s key role is to create a professional and social program—the Professional Forum—to advise on the most important topics, and to suggest speakers who can bring these fundamental issues to life. Anne de Boismenu, Head of the Institutional Division at PharmagoraPlus, stated:

 “When I established the Professional Forum, I felt it was essential to create a Steering Committee that would bring together institutional stakeholders from the pharmaceutical sector. Through our regular meetings, we share our insights, visions, and experiences to offer community pharmacists visiting PharmagoraPlus the best possible support for their daily practice.”

Adrien Collilieux, Event director PharmagoraPlus, added:

“The PharmagoraPlus steering committee is one of the cornerstones of this major event, as it brings together the key stakeholders who shape the profession. Unions and associations devote not only their time but also their passion and expertise to developing the Professional Forum program for each edition of the trade show. This program is of particular importance to pharmacists, as it addresses the most pressing issues facing community pharmacies today, provides a platform for representatives of the profession, and allows pharmacists to engage directly with them.”

"This steering committee is therefore fully in line with PharmagoraPlus’s core values: a trade show ORGANISED BY , for pharmacists."

The members of the steering committee also emphasize the importance of sharing developments in the pharmaceutical industry while bringing together the various perspectives within the sector. As Lucie-Hélène Pagnat, Executive Director of the USPO, noted:

“The Steering Committee is essential for jointly developing a relevant and up-to-date program that addresses the challenges facing the pharmaceutical supply chain. The discussions that take place within the committee allow us to develop a multifaceted and comprehensive vision of the pharmaceutical industry, enabling us to share with trade show visitors the latest developments in the field and the future of pharmacy.”

Now more than ever, the steering committee’s input is essential, given the sector’s volatility, upcoming reforms, and uncertainty among pharmacists.
