Ludic Life Sciences

Virtual, hybrid and in-person scientific meetings, medical education and leadership programs for life sciences.

Advisory boards, investigator meetings, congress activity, accredited HCP education, leadership and capability programs and internal campaigns for pharma, biotech and healthcare organizations.

We design the experience, run the room, build the capability that follows, and evidence whether anything actually changed — inside the compliance framework you already work to.

A track record of delivering engaging events and state-of-the-art learning in life sciences.

Advisory boards under MLR review. Investigator meetings scaled across regions. Capability programs for three thousand people. We work with pharma, biotech and healthcare organizations to engage their people in events and learning that span time and distance.

Who we work with

Find the version of this that fits your team.

  • Medical Affairs

    Advisory boards, congress, field medical capability and an operating model that keeps moving — while the evidence base, the therapy area and the team all change underneath you.

  • R&D & Clinical Development

    Investigator engagement, protocol alignment and study team collaboration — across sites, sponsors, time zones, and a protocol that just changed.

  • Commercial & Launch

    Franchise and cycle meetings, launch readiness and brand team alignment — in the twelve months where being three weeks late costs more than being slightly wrong.

  • Corporate Communications & HR

    Internal campaigns, values and culture, leadership programs and the long middle of an operating model change — across research, manufacturing, commercial and every function that supports them.

How we work

Before, during and beyond the experience.

  • Before

    Question architecture, pre-read, and materials. Attendees are ready to hit the ground running before the experience begins.

  • During

    Facilitation that produces decisions and alignment. Insights are captured as they arise and the output is ready before the experience ends.

  • Beyond

    The environment stays open, the commitments have owners, the capability keeps building and the reporting answers what changed rather than who attended.

Working in a regulated sector

We know what MLR, transparency reporting and a locked-down data environment mean.

Compliance is a design input for us, not a review at the end.

  • Material review

    Content built to survive MLR rather than to be rescued by it — version control, approval states and a clear audit trail of what a participant actually saw.

  • HCP engagement and transparency

    Participation, consent and transfer-of-value records captured in a form your transparency reporting can use, not reconstructed from a delegate list afterwards.

  • Data handling and residency

    ISO/IEC 27001 certified, GDPR-compliant by design, with access control per audience and defined retention rather than a shared drive.

  • Accessibility and inclusion

    Designed so participation does not depend on perfect eyesight, a fast connection or a first language of English.

Powered by SmartLab

One branded, ISO/IEC 27001 certified environment for engaging participants before, during, and after the event, program, or experience. Supports face-to-face, hybrid or online delivery.

Built-in analytics, with optional SmartLab AI, supercharge reporting to track engagement, participation and ROI providing data that goes beyond vanity metrics.

  • Branded and bespoke

    Immersive fully branded environments that reflect your science and brand.

  • Compliant by design

    Controlled content, version control and audit trails as a design input, not a review at the end.

  • Connected

    Congress, education and engagement in one place rather than four tools that do not speak to each other.

  • Evidenced

    Engagement and outcomes you can report when procurement, compliance or the board asks.
