Temperature Controlled Logistics in Biopharmaceuticals Europe 2020
Temperature Controlled Logistics in Biopharmaceuticals Europe will take place as scheduled on 11-12 March at Novotel Madrid Center Hotel.
Arena International is thrilled to announce return of the leading Temperature Control Logistics conference in Europe! The 2020 Temperature Control Logistics in Biopharmaceuticals event will be hosted in Madrid on 11th & 12th March.
Now in its 16th year, the event is back to deliver key, actionable insights into the latest regulatory requirements, technological innovations, strategic developments, and how to implement them into your commercial and clinical logistics with both maximum efficiency and minimal cost.
Many of the pharmaceutical and biologic drugs sold today are extremely sensitive to the conditions in which they are packaged, shipped and stored, with temperature deviations effecting the quality of product delivered. This conference will help improve your distribution process which must be validated to ensure that there is no negative impact to the safety, efficacy or quality of the drug.
Attendees will hear talks from leading companies such as Hoffmann-La Roche, Merck, Jazz Pharma, Celgene and GSK. The sessions will be delivered through a variety of interactive formats including workshops, think tanks and roundtable discussions.
This event will be co-located with our European flagship, Clinical Trials Supply EU conference, boasting a multi-streamed programme and attracting over 500 pharmaceutical professionals.
Do not miss this opportunity to network with your peers and learn best practices from the industry leaders.
We look forward to seeing you there!
