17 – 18 June 2026 | Hilton Brussels Grand Place, Brussels

The must-attend European defense strategy forum for the life sciences litigation community. Europe’s Premier Forum for Life Sciences Product Liability, Policy & Dispute Resolution.

For more than three decades, C5 has convened senior product liability and medical device litigators through its long-standing Drug & Medical Device Litigation conference, creating a trusted environment for candid discussion of complex disputes.

This event builds on that foundation, bringing the same discussion-driven, peer-level format to Brussels. This essential forum delivers a rare, defense-first lens on emerging EU liability, evidence, and cross-border risks – equipping in-house teams and external counsel with the strategies they need as Europe enters a more aggressive enforcement and collective-action era.

The program covers EU product-liability, class action, and mass-harm trends post-PLD, safety/vigilance & recalls, labeling and promotion disputes, and coordination across Member State procedures – giving attendees a comprehensive view of the most urgent litigation pressures facing life sciences companies today.

Key topics to be discussed at this year’s event include:

• New EU Product-Liability Rules: What’s Changing and How to Defend
• Collective Actions & Litigation Funding
• Pricing & Reimbursement Disputes
• AI in Devices & Diagnostics
• Device-Safety Files as Evidence
• Health-Data and Cross-Border Discovery
• Settlements & Case Studies: Lessons from U.S. and EU actions
• GC Roundtable: 12-Month Defense Readiness Checklist
