Galien Forum USA 2021 – Galien Foundation

000 days 00 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds

We anticipate an event in measure with the monumental feat the industry achieved in collaboration with researchers and public bodies has made to public health globally and to humanity collectively this past year. It is particularly exciting that this landmark year coincides with the Prix Galien Golden Jubilee – celebrating 50 years of innovations that have improved the human condition.

*The Galien Forum and Prix Galien USA Ceremony will take place on October 28, 2021, though in order to ensure the safety of all participants our format may shift in keeping with COVID-19-related guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and New York City authorities. The Galien Foundation is considering and planning for multiple scenarios, including a smaller in-person event with digital access, a partially virtual event, and a completely virtual event. Updates will be posted and shared with our network via email as soon as they are confirmed.

“…The right event, on the right issue at the right time…”

— Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General, United Nations

The Galien Forum, held every autumn at New York’s Alexandria Center for Life Sciences, offers a full day of spirited discussions with Nobel Laureates, top policymakers, and leading industry executives who offer perspectives on the most significant health challenges of our time while highlighting the latest research and clinical pathways toward diagnosis, treatment, and cure.

Time and again, Forum participants praise the caliber of the speakers and their fellow attendees, the quality of the panel discussions and presentations, and the recognition of industry’s critical role in creating life-saving innovations.
