Following the success of our inaugural KOL conference in London last year, and the continued success of our event in Munich in June, SMi are proud to announce the return of our KOL series to London with our 2nd Annual KOL: Knowledge Leaders conference in September.
The interaction between key academics/physicians and industry is a vital part of any marketing strategy to commercialise a new drug. The identification and management of such key opinion leaders can be both challenging and rewarding for all involved.
With controversy surrounding these interactions SMi’s 2nd Annual KOL conference in London aims to focus on getting the relationship right between industry and academia. With leading opinion leaders giving their perspective alongside discussions from those in industry tasked with forging these relationships, this conference is a must attend event.
Allowing for plenty of discussion within the programme this conference is unique in providing an ideal platform to obtain the building blocks needed for successful KOL interactions, whilst offering networking opportunities throughout the day.
Help to dispel some of the myths that blight the public perception of these relationships by participating in healthy debate and discussion about the way to move forward with these essential exchanges.
