Concurrent Roundtable Discussions: Boardroom 1 - 8

You will be allocated to an online boardroom on the day:

Strategic planning session with a key industry figure, a solutions partner and leading practitioners

Time for audio or video-conference calls with your chosen peers and vendors

How can you drive collaboration across global temperature controlled logistics to maintain operational resilience for large scale Covid-19 vaccine distribution?

• How can producers build resilience into the pharma supply chain through cooperation and collaboration around temperature controlled logistics?
• What are the most obvious opportunities for collaboration ahead of a potential Covid-19 vaccine, and how can producers work together to drive the efficacy of operations?
• What could these pre-competition partnerships and collaborations look like and where is their greatest applicability?
• What can those involved in the discussion do now to drive this collaboration?

Roundtable Discussions: A1 - A4

How can you learn from the Covid-19 changes to your logistics and distribution quality processes and risk evaluation to improve operations quality?

• How has the shipping of products changed as a result of Covid-19, from a quality perspective?
• Why have the significant changes been in the evaluation of risk and quality, as opposed to changes in the processes themselves?
• How have producers been able to allow exceptions and make changes to evaluationmethodologies without affecting the overall quality of operations?
• What lessons learnt and best practice can be extracted and applied to the future of logistics and distribution activities?
