2021 Tech Conference is Today! |
|
From the Board
We are Pleased to Present our 28th Annual Tech Conference Starting Today!
|
|
"Race to Recovery" is Conference Theme in 2021, focusing on how we as an industry have been able to shift our attention to meet the challenges of COVID-19 through unprecedented collaboration and unparalleled focus on vaccine R&D while maintaining business continuity.
Registration is still open and will remain open throughout the entire virtual conference.
We kick off our conference today at 8:30 a.m. with our first Keynote: "Leading Ladies in Industry - a Panel Discussion." This distinguished panel of scientists and executives will share their insights on what it takes to thrive in pharma/biotech/medical device industries.
Other highlights include our second keynote address tomorrow, March 10th, at 8:30 a.m., featuring the Directors At Large of the ISPE-CaSA Board of Directors who will present “The Board’s Point of View,” a panel discussion about how COVID-19 challenged their businesses and how they see 2021 unfolding.
We close our conference on tomorrow afternoon, March 10th, with a fascinating look at how United Parcel Services (UPS) executed unprecedented delivery of fragile COVID-19 vaccines as a key linchpin of the vaccine’s logistics train.
Throughout both days, we are pleased to offer cutting-edge presentations from industry experts on a variety of topics, including Artificial Intelligence, Cell and Gene Therapy, Program Management in a Warp Speed Environment, and CDMO Drug Development Technology Transfer Best Practices. In addition to these programs, we will have special sessions for Women in Pharma, Emerging Leaders, and Students.
Also, don’t forget our Charitable Causes contest – each CaSA committee has selected a LOCAL charity to sponsor, with the highest contributions earning a kicker from the Chapter. Please DONATE. We have been incredibly blessed in our line of work – the satisfaction of life-saving or life-improving therapies or even cures! while also maintaining full employment during the pandemic response. Our neighbors are not all nearly as lucky as we. Please take the time to visit our donation site and help a neighbor.
Thank you to our sponsors and member companies who have enabled ISPE CaSA to serve our diverse membership, despite the pandemic, and provide informational and educational sessions for the 28th year!
