While cold chain management is becoming an evermore important part of a pharmaceutical firm’s business capability, it is also big business from the logistics point of view.
Pharma Supply Chain is a complex interplay of product, packaging materials and transportation methods, as well as complying with an evolving regulatory landscape. On top, the rising cost of transportation makes this a live issue for pharmaceutical firms in financial terms, too.
In an increasingly complex, fast-moving pharmaceutical environment, the up-to-date management of cold chains is crucial to be logistically lucrative.

This conference is the perfect place to get up to speed with the latest regulations, advanced technology and processes that are necessary to stay in the game and operate a compliant temperature control supply chain cost-effectively.
By attending you will have the chance to listen to conference presentations, panel discussions, specialist discussion forums, tailor-made streams about the burning topics of the industry – such as the most updated regulatory roadmap, quality systems and agreements, RF-enabled product visibility, electronic temperature monitoring, satellite tracking, „Last mile” issues, new market focus on Asia, shipping by ocean, cold chain packaging & shipping smart solutions: PCM, going green, active ULDs, battery-assisted passive RFID, etc…
