We are excited to announce what’s ahead for 2027: an expanded event bringing pharma to the exhibition floor, a deeper focus on wellness and longevity, and the arrival of WHX Leaders Africa.

Pharma

A new sector connecting pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals, manufacturers, buyers and distributors to discover products, forge partnerships and unlock new business opportunities.

Wellness and longevity

An expanded focus on prevention, healthy ageing and long-term wellbeing, enabling businesses to showcase expertise and attendees to explore the products and solutions shaping the future of healthcare.

WHX Leaders Africa

This established leadership platform arrives at WHX Johannesburg in 2027, bringing an African perspective to the conversations and collaborations defining the future of healthcare across the continent.

Further details will be announced in the coming months. Be part of what comes next.

Ready for 2027

WHX in Johannesburg returned to the Gallagher Convention Centre in 2026, connecting exhibitors with buyers from across South Africa and the wider continent, and sparking vital conversations on trade, policy and patient care at the Indaba sessions.

In 2027, the show expands with two new sectors: Pharma, and Wellness and Longevity. It also introduces WHX Leaders Africa, a curated ministerial programme for senior decision-makers.
