About the conference
The CRO industry is growing fast, with an annual growth rate of over 8.5% and is expected to reach US$35bn by 2015.
Driven in part by the intense pressures of the global economic environment, shrinking product pipelines, generic competition and rapidly increasing costs, the pharmaceutical and biotech industries are increasingly outsourcing to CROs in order to reduce risk/costs, increase efficiencies and remain competitive.
Managing partnerships with external organisations presents many challenges and opportunities. Join us at SMi's 2nd annual Managing Partnerships with CROs conference and delve into these issues.
With a case study focused agenda with representatives from both sides of the table, you'll gain a unique insight into effective CRO partnership management from the key opinion leaders in this field.
Why not attend the associated workshop as well?
Associated with the conference there will be a half-day interactive workshop on "Mistakes in CRO selection: What goes wrong & how to solve these problems", taking place on 6th October. It will cover basis for building and maintaining successful outsourcing partnerships, it will also address common sources of conflict and provide strategies to overcome these issues. This will be led by Anne-Maria Ylisaari, Head of In-and-Outsourcing at Orion Pharma. To see more information about the workshop, please see the workshop page.
