The leading global logistics conference for the pharmaceutical industry...going beyond the cold chain
Let's face it - soon, most pharmaceutical products will require temperature control. According to a recent Pharmaceutical Commerce report, "7 of the top 10 global pharma products in 2014 will require cold-chain handling"
The annual Cold Chain Global Forum is the largest, most recognized conference for understanding today's practices, technology and business solutions for temperature control logistics, supply and packaging. Topics at the conference evolve to meet industry interests - going beyond just “cold” products. Today this includes all temperature ranges 2-8C, 15-25C, refrigerated, frozen, ultra-cold, ambient and CRT.
It might surprise you to know…
The annual September event continues to cover core cold chain topics, including validation and qualification of equipment and pack-outs, stability testing to support distribution, temperature profiling and thermal mapping, temperature deviation management and continuous process improvements.
But, you might be surprised (and glad!) to hear we'll also be discussing additional important business critical challenges that go beyond the ‘traditional’ cold chain, including:
- Supply chain and transportation security
- Devising contingency plans with transportation partners
- Quality management of air freight
- New RFID technology offering visibility and e-pedigree
- Green packaging initiatives to reduce footprint
