- Fifth edition (two days), last organized by RX France: in autumn 2025 RX declined to renew its organizing mandate (with SEMEC and EuropIA) beyond 2026; Informa takes over from 2027. New: Summit of Elected Officials and Health AI Summit. Sponsors from the archived sponsor page (logo file names used where alt text was wrong; pavilions omitted). Speakers: the 'first confirmed speakers' from RX's Oct 2025 launch press release only. Pass prices (Discovery free; Full and Premium passes) were rendered as images and not captured.
