The 2025 European Meeting of ISMPP, held from 27-29 January at Novotel London West, brought together a record-setting number of 418 attendees from 16 countries to explore the theme “Core Values for an Integrated Age.” The event highlighted the evolving landscape of medical publications and communications, emphasizing the need to balance innovation with core professional values. Discussions focused on the increasing integration of technology, human insight, and patient involvement in industry processes, reinforcing the importance of integrity, transparency, and patient partnerships. Attendees explored strategies to uphold these principles while embracing advancements that enhance the relevance and impact of their work.
Participants also took part in interactive workshops, engaging in hands-on activities designed to apply new concepts and strategies in real-world scenarios, fostering practical learning and collaboration. Additionally, the event offered numerous networking opportunities enabling attendees to connect with peers, participate in live chats, and exchange ideas through community boards. These elements ensured a dynamic and engaging experience, reinforcing the industry’s commitment to both professional development and patient-centered communication.
