FlyPharma Conferences announces FlyPharma Copenhagen, in partnership with Copenhagen Airport, SAS Cargo, and World Courier, will take place on 6-7 October 2026 at the Clarion Hotel Copenhagen Airport, Copenhagen, Denmark.
FlyPharma is a leading international conference dedicated to the air transport of pharmaceutical products, bringing together airlines, airports, freight forwarders, pharmaceutical manufacturers, regulators, and logistics specialists from across the global supply chain.
Located in the heart of Medicon Valley, Copenhagen has world-class air cargo infrastructure and a reputation as a leading life sciences hub, making it an ideal setting for FlyPharma. The city is home to a dense concentration of pharmaceutical companies, cold chain logistics providers, and regulatory innovators, fostering an environment where cutting-edge temperature-controlled supply chain solutions are not just discussed but developed. Combined with Copenhagen’s commitment to sustainability, streamlined port-airport connectivity, and a highly collaborative business culture, the city offers a uniquely focused and forward-looking backdrop for advancing the global pharma logistics dialogue.
There are plenty of networking opportunities, including a Pre-Conference Welcome Reception the night before the conference, and an evening Networking Event following Day 1 of conference sessions. Delegates have the opportunity to meet and connect with senior pharma and cargo professionals thus gaining new industry contacts and building on existing professional relationships.
