ABOUT THE EVENT

The 2026 Critical Path Institute® (C-Path) Global Impact Conference (CGIC) brings together leaders from academia, industry, regulatory agencies, patient organizations, and nonprofit research to advance a shared goal: making drug development more efficient, evidence-driven, and responsive to patient needs.
As you’ve come to expect from previous years, this event will offer the chance to collaborate on the next wave of innovative therapies, discuss the latest initiatives, network with colleagues, and drive progress for those that need it most: people living with unmet medical needs.
If you’re part of the movement to improve drug development with accelerated timelines and custom therapies, CGIC 2026 is the event you can’t afford to miss. You’ll have two full days to engage in inspiring conversations, discover the latest developments in neurology, rare diseases, pediatrics, and explore the newest tools and collaborations C-Path has to offer.
