The European Commission has allowed parallel trade in the pharmaceutical industry to prosper but there are still many who question its practise and consider it a threat. SMi's fourth annual Pharmaceutical Parallel Trade conference will bring together pharmaceutical companies and parallel traders for real discussion and deliberation about the ways they can work together for the benefit of patients. This event will provide a platform to explore the key issues surrounding parallel trade in Europe. Industry experts will present new ways of addressing the negative issues associated with parallel trade and help you to develop an appropriate strategy for your own organisation.
