The Night of the Caduceus is the association's flagship event, an annual ceremony that recognizes the most innovative projects and communication campaigns in the healthcare sector. Held in a prestigious setting, it brings together more than 200 professionals from pharmaceutical companies, start-ups, medtechs, agencies, and representatives of patient associations, alongside ESCP students and alumni.
La Nuit des Caducées
Our objective
Its objective is twofold: to showcase the most impactful initiatives in therapeutic innovation and patient care, and to offer its partners strategic visibility to a qualified and engaged audience. A true meeting place for future leaders and decision-makers in the sector, the event actively contributes to the influence of the biopharmaceutical ecosystem and to the dialogue between scientific innovation, communication, and social responsibility.
The 36th edition will be held on May 28, 2026, at the Salons de l’Hôtel des Arts et Métiers.
It will take the form of an awards ceremony followed by a gala evening bringing together students, professionals, and committed stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem. The jury, composed of renowned experts from the fields of medicine, pharmaceuticals, innovation, communication, and strategy, will be chaired by Éric Phelippeau, Vice-President and Managing Director of the Health Communication Festival, and Samantha Pasdeloup, President of the Healthcare Data Institute and Director of Development & Partnerships at ELSAN.
The theme of this edition, “Treating each individual, thinking for all,” highlights a central challenge: reconciling personalized medicine with a systemic vision in order to build a more coherent, accessible, and equitable healthcare system.
Six categories will recognize major initiatives in the fields of therapeutic innovation, digital health and AI, health communication, non-pharmaceutical solutions, access to care, and the patient journey, as well as a Jury's Choice Award for the most outstanding project based on its impact, originality, and vision.
Through its high standards, its reach, and the diversity of its participants, the Caduceus Night has established itself as an essential event for reflecting, exchanging ideas, and shaping the future of healthcare together.
