The ISPE Investigational Products Community of Practice (IP COP) is a unique global organization with a common global strategic vision that supports industry professionals worldwide by providing relevant, timely and cutting-edge information as well as access to solutions and resources in all aspects of the IP supply chain. In response to your feedback, a portion of this year’s educational forum is segmented into two tracks to better meet the needs of the attendees. Although we will ask you to register for a particular track, attendees are free to engage in topics and sessions delivered in each of the tracks, based on your interest in topics.

  • The Operations Track (501) will focus on tactical challenges industry professionals face in their day-to-day lives and how to overcome them
