BIO-Europe is not a product show but Europe's largest partnering conference for biotech and pharma: thousands of pre-booked one-to-one meetings, company presentations and investor conversations in three days. We photograph and film what counts here — your team in conversation, your presentation on stage and portraits your business development people will carry on LinkedIn for the next year.

There is nothing to unpack at BIO-Europe. What a company shows is people: the business development team at a meeting table, the founder on the presentation stage, the CEO talking to an investor. These pictures happen in an environment built for efficiency, not for photography — even, flat light in the partnering hall, small stands and pods with little depth, conversations in 30-minute slots.
So we shoot wide open and without flash, choose backgrounds that show your branding rather than other people's logos, and photograph conversations so they look natural: engaged, focused, not posed. Added to that are portraits of your team in consistent light on the stand or in a quiet corner of the hall — the material needed after the conference on LinkedIn, in pitch decks and on the team page.
If your company speaks in the presentation programme, we photograph speaker and audience from several positions and, if you wish, film the presentation in full with audio straight from the mixing desk. You receive the recording for investors who were not in the room, plus short vertical quotes for LinkedIn.
A second format is interviews on the stand: two minutes with the CEO or CSO on pipeline, partnering goals and what you are taking home from Cologne. In English, with radio mics, delivered with subtitles — a video your BD team can send to contacts while the conference is still running.
BIO-Europe runs by calendar: meetings from morning to evening, with presentations and receptions in between. We align the time window with your partnering calendar — Monday morning before opening for stand and portraits, a block on Monday or Tuesday for conversations, presentation and interviews. Wednesday afternoon is noticeably quieter as many attendees are already leaving.
Since almost everyone has flown in, we deliver images and video within 24 hours — your team has the material before boarding the flight home and can send follow-up emails with real pictures instead of stock photos.
Your team in conversation with partners and investors — wide open, no flash, no interruption of the schedule.
Speaker and audience from several positions, filmed in full with desk audio on request.
Consistently lit portraits of your BD team on the stand — for LinkedIn, pitch deck and website.
Stand or pod before opening, tidy and with your branding in frame.
Short vertical clips and a 30-second highlight, cut on the conference day.
Two minutes with the CEO or CSO in English, delivered with subtitles.
A post with your stand while the show is still running gets seen and shared. That is why every package includes finished photos and video within 24 hours after the event ends — first images usually the same day. Two revision rounds included.
A sample from our production: the event recap for your website and LinkedIn — below it, native 9:16 footage for Reels, Shorts and Stories, shot in parallel with the main coverage.
