Breakfast Briefing

Getting the most out of your partnerships

What are you looking for in a partner? This session will include a series of short presentations followed by a breakout to more intimate roundtable discussions.

Each briefing will showcase a variety of specialist organizations enabling biotechs to equip themselves with the right information to make informed decisions and maximize the benefits of their partnerships with CROs and beyond.

The roundtables will be an opportunity to ask questions of the speakers about these services and explore opportunities for partnership.

Some of the areas we may cover in these briefings include:

  • Recruitment – new and innovative models, how do you access them?
  • Taking control of your clinical data
  • What are some of the pre-clinical program considerations to support a successful clinical trial?
  • Identifying clinical trial supply challenges in the early stage of trial design
  • Product eligibility for international pathways, are we ready?
  • Reducing start-up times, and how to position product/project to end customer.
  • How do you develop an effective safety & and efficacy program through a rigorous nonclinical strategy?
