Clinical Trial Logistics

What is this event about?

With the high costs of development for a new drug, no company can afford to further increase costs through inefficiencies in the clinical trial supply chain.  As an attempt is made to reduce expenses through conducting clinical trials in the emerging markets of Asia, India, South America and Eastern Europe there is an increasing need to ensure that your logistics procedures are as efficient and cost effective as possible. SMi's 4th annual Clinical Trial Logistics conference will address your concerns and provide you with the tools to safely and efficiently resolve your clinical trials logistical challenges on a global scale. This conference will also analyse the latest developments in labelling, packaging, inventory management, security, forecasting, partnering and outsourcing.   Fancy speaking at the conference?  Do you know of anyone who may be interested in speaking?  We are always on the look-out for new speakers for our upcoming conferences.  Let us know: smiproduction@smi-online.co.uk.
