Agenda
Tuesday, 10/17/17
Registration & Networking Breakfast 8:00AM |
Welcome & Conference Chair Opening Remarks 9:00AM |
Data integrity meets knowledge transfer 9:15AM Data integrity is mission critical. But project success also relies on turning your data into a “knowledge transfer” with your outsourcing partners. We’ll discuss the best ways to both ensure data accuracy, and ensure you are transferring useful knowledge to and from all your partners.
|
Networking Refreshment Break 10:15AM |
The geography of outsourcing: How important is your project’s location? 11:00AM How critical is physical location to the success of your project? Does proximity outweigh purpose, or geography mean as much as specific capabilities? We’ll outline all the variables (e.g., distance, country, equipment, platforms, capacity, and capabilities) you must consider to select the best location of your next project and outsourcing partner.
|
Networking Lunch 12:00PM |
Aligning motivations for sponsor and supplier innovation 1:15PM Even small “i” innovations at your service providers can lead to big outcomes. So how do you align motivations for innovation through your supply chain? We’ll discuss what actually motivates providers to innovate, and how to ensure that matches up with your needs and goals.
|
Networking Refreshment Break 2:15PM |
Spotlight technology: Outsourcing assistance for cell and gene therapies 3:00 pm When science advances through new therapies and companies, how do external partners expand capabilities, or new service providers emerge? Is there a supporting cast of outsourcing companies for the development of new cell- and gene-based therapies? We’ll hear from sponsors what they need, where to get it, and equally important, what not to expect.

Teaming up for regulatory advancements 9:15AM The process to drug approval and manufacturing compliance should feel like a three-way partnership for advancing common goals. Are you effectively teaming up with your external partners to work with regulatory authorities to make this happen? We’ll provide real-world case studies on how drug sponsors, service providers, and regulators can successfully operate together.
|

Your workforce: Challenges in hiring new and skilled employees 11:00AM In any industry, finding and maintaining new and skilled employees is a major factor in operational continuity and business advancement.

|
Networking Lunch 12:00PM |
Putting it together: Evaluating your provider network 1:15PM It’s not enough to measure service providers in isolation. How effective are partners within the entire continuum of your project development and manufacturing network? We’ll learn best practices, including a matrix-based approach to evaluation, and reasons why traditional partner benchmarking can be sending you the wrong signals.
|
