01 About this edition
The London edition.
On 20 May 2027, the Global Vaccine Leadership Summit convenes in London as one of two global editions — an invitation-led gathering organised by Graviton International.
The London edition is co-located with Pharmacovigilance Europe 2027 (www.pveurope.com) at Hilton London Olympia.
In a single, focused day, the London edition examines the priorities shaping vaccines today: scientific innovation and development, regulation and vaccine safety, pandemic preparedness, and equitable access and delivery. Sessions connect research, policy and industry perspectives, with an emphasis on decisions and practical next steps.
The day is designed for senior leaders from industry, government, regulators, public health, academia and biotechnology. Delegates can expect keynotes, leadership discussions and panels, with time built in for the one-to-one conversations that matter between sessions.
