WHY PEOF?

  • “It's imperative to have input from patients from the early stage & continuing at every step. PEOF has been powerful & actively engaging. It was not just talking the talk, but walking the walk & I'm feeling incredibly motivated.”

    Robyn Bent, FDA

  • “It has been a pleasure to participate. It’s always been a fascinating topic. Having this discussion with all the stakeholders, with everyone involved, is much more efficient. I think it is the way we should approach patient engagement, as with many other topics.”

    Juan García-Burgos, European Medicines Agency (EMA)

  • “There are always so many great people in the room and fantastic conversations. There is a real sense of urgency, change, and progress. It’s great to be a part of it.”

    Lara Bloom, IAPO.

  • “Look at how far we have come! Important conversations around patient remuneration, digital health & inclusivity for everyone navigating patient engagement. It's that sense of connectedness that I thoroughly enjoy at PEOF.”

    Rebecca Vermeulen, Roche

  • "It's not just a conference but a conference with measurable success. The table is well set for us.”

    Randal Rutta, NHC

  • "PEOF 2025 has really opened my eyes to see the potential of each and every one of us to change the status quo in our countries, regions and the world. Together, nothing shall be impossible.""

    Abigail Simon-Hart, Co-founder of The Bricon Foundation
