Decision integrity: Building confidence into every portfolio decision

April 23, 2027
NYC

About i2e Elevate

i2e Elevate is an invitation-only forum where senior R&D, portfolio and clinical operations leaders come together to work through the decisions that shape drug development.

Rather than a stage of presentations, Elevate is built around candid peer conversation, with breakout sessions where leaders think out loud about the challenges they face. 

Over the past two editions, Elevate has grown into one of the most anticipated forums for pharma R&D leadership. In 2025, Elevate explored how to “Build the foundation for next-generation SPM excellence.” 

In 2026, Elevate brought together around 40 senior leaders in New York under the theme "Connected decisions: Accelerating outcomes from portfolio to patient." 

Elevate 2027 carries that conversation forward, focusing on how organizations align to turn portfolio strategy into confident execution.

Real challenges, real solutions

Knowledge sharing
It’s a room of R&D and PMO leaders openly sharing what’s working, what’s failing, and what they’d do differently if they could start over. You’ll hear your how peers are approaching similar issues — from resource algorithms to scenario planning — and what’s actually working.

Cross industry perspective
What could pharma R&D ops learn from other capital intensive industries? We’ve curated the top case studies and use cases from other industries that will spark discussions and help pharma leaders look at their portfolio challenges with fresh eyes.
