The ACCESS Forum invites you to contribute to the dialogue shaping the next era of healthcare access. As global policies converge and value frameworks evolve, collaboration across borders has never been more critical. Under the theme Access Without Borders: Global Strategies for the Next Era, the Lisbon Forum will bring together global leaders in market access, HEOR, policy, and patient engagement to share insights, challenge conventions, and drive action.
This year’s program will center around four thematic tracks designed to explore how rapid policy evolution, economic pressures, and emerging technologies are redefining access strategies worldwide.

Please review all instructions carefully; incomplete proposals or those that do not meet the following criteria will not be considered for review. We encourage interactive, practical, and forward-looking sessions that advance thought leadership in market and patient access. Proposals should:
- Clearly define learning objective and intended audience
- Describe how the session contributes to advancing access stragegy or evidence innovation
- Incldue representation from diverse organization sectors (industry, academia, payer, policymaker, and solution providers)
PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS:
- A clear session title related to one of the four tracks listed below
- A defined purpose statement describing the need or gap addressed (200 words max.)
- 2-3 learning objectives
- 3-4 proposed presenters/panelists
- At least 50% presenters from industry (pharma, biotech, or MedTech)
- Presenters representing multiple organizations and perspectives
LOGISTICAL NOTES:
‣ ACCESS Forum will not accept proposals without confirmed presenters
‣ Presenters may not participate in more than one parallel session.
‣ Accepted sessions receive 2 complimentary registrations; additional
presenters receive 50% discounted registration.
‣ Each parallel session is 75 minutes, with a total of 16 sessions
across four rotations.
‣ We strongly discourage heavily didactic presentations; proposals
should emphasize interactivity and engagement.
SESSION TRACKS:
Rapid policy evolution, economic pressures, and shifting value frameworks are redefining market access worldwide. This track explores how global trends—from regulatory reforms to sustainability goals—are influencing regional and national access strategies. It invites proposals that highlight comparative policy & trends analyses, innovative pricing approaches, and insights into the future of value assessment across geographies. This track invites proposals addressing topics such as:
- Emerging global frameworks for pricing, reimbursement, and value-based access
- Regional policy evolution and its impact on global access strategies (EU, U.S., Asia-Pacific, LATAM, Middle East)
- Trends in health technology assessment (HTA) harmonization and convergence
- Affordability, sustainability, and equitable access in a constrained global economy
- Case studies illustrating successful cross-regional market access approaches
Market access and HEOR functions are evolving rapidly as pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations build new capabilities to meet the demands of complex, data-driven healthcare environments. This track highlights how emerging tools, frameworks, and cross-functional approaches are enhancing access strategies, evidence generation, and value demonstration across the product lifecycle. This track invites proposals addressing topics such as:
- Building next-generation market access and HEOR operating models
- Integrating cross-functional collaboration between medical affairs, real-world evidence (RWE), and commercial teams
- Developing new capabilities in pricing, reimbursement, and value communication
- Capability-building strategies and organizational transformation for access excellence
- Case studies of innovative HEOR or access models in action
The evolving healthcare landscape demands new approaches to developing, integrating, and communicating evidence to diverse stakeholders. This track focuses on innovative methodologies, tools, and strategies for evidence generation and dissemination—across clinical, economic, and patient-centered domains. This track invites proposals addressing topics such as:
- Collaboration across medical affairs, HEOR, and key functions in evidence generation & communication strategies
- Advancing capabilities in value communication & evidence generation
- Capability-building in evidence generation & communication for access excellence
- Innovations in real-world evidence (RWE) and hybrid trial designs
- Use of digital health data, wearables, and patient-reported outcomes in evidence generation
- Case studies of innovative HEOR or access models in action
Artificial intelligence and advanced analytics are reshaping how market access and evidence professionals generate insights, predict outcomes, and engage stakeholders. This track invites forward-thinking proposals that demonstrate the strategic integration of AI across pricing, HEOR, and access functions. This track invites proposals addressing topics such as:
- AI applications in evidence generation, synthesis, and predictive modeling
- Machine learning for payer insights, forecasting, and pricing optimization
- AI-driven tools for stakeholder engagement and value communication
- Integrating human and artificial intelligence in decision-making processes
- Case examples of AI transforming market access and HEOR functions
