Synopsis:

As more and more companies abandon the concept of creating products solely using their own internal resources, effective outsourcing has become a key success factor in drug and device development. Driven by an increasingly competitive commercial environment, products need to be produced faster, cheaper, and must be available to a global market. While cost reduction is still the primary goal behind most outsourcing, improved quality and a shorter time-to-market are two additional benefits of partnering with specialized vendors. The relationship between the client company and these vendors creates new opportunities and challenges. The question: How can you best establish and nurture this relationship?

 

The OCRA-SDRAN “Outsourcing 101” conference offers insight into current outsourcing trends and shares advice on vendor selection and vendor management. Industry experts will address topics such as choosing the right partner, relationship governance, legal aspects, and ensuring the quality of products globally. Additional two parallel panel sessions will focus on Pharmaceuticals/Biologics and Devices/IVD. During these roundtables with vendor representatives, you will have the opportunity to pose questions to the panel and receive helpful suggestions from some of the most experienced professionals in the business. Make sure you don’t miss this opportunity to join your colleagues in beautiful Carlsbad, CA at the Grand Pacific Palisades, share your own expertise, and learn from some of the best in our field.
