Pharma Procurement Leadership Summit

Driving the growth of pharma procurement organisations through world-class leadership

This conference has been postponed until 2009.

Wednesday, 10th December 2008 - Hotel Novotel London St Pancras, London, United Kingdom  

The pharma industry has undergone radical transformation in recent times and the forecast is for more change. Mergers and acquisitions, drug recalls and, fewer new drug approvals have continually been making pharma news headlines. In addition, there has been considerable restructuring of procurement divisions within organisations as supplier bases become more global, investment in sourcing hubs increases, the need for cost competiveness grows and opportunities in new pharma markets develop.  As the function of procurement is being reviewed by boards of directors, now is the time for procurement executives to leverage these changes into opportunities for strong growth of their divisions and their own personal profiles.

Attend Pharma Procurement Leadership Summit to explore how these fundamental changes can become opportunities to build your procurement into a world-class, value contributing function. Take one day out of your already busy schedule to redefine your strategies and gather the latest ideas and tactics of CPOs from the leading pharmaceutical organisations.
