agenda(PDF Current as of 2 October 2008)

Challenge the current state of the pharmaceutical industry with these provocative questions. Join in this stimulating discussion as we tackle these questions with a panel of leaders.

  • Is risk-adversity suicide in the face of competition? Change is essential, yet numerous companies avoid change because it comes with risk.
  • Why build more and more elaborate facilities using more and more energy?
  • Why use equipment and processes a baker in the 1900s would recognize?
  • Why believe the regulator is the enemy?
  • Why do we still find silos when quality, regulatory, toxicology, validation, and others rarely talk to each other?

The world cannot be changed in two and one-half hours, but the intention is to provoke thought, encourage discussion, and promote productive change.
