PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Informex today announced that it will hold a Global Sourcing Summit for the Pharmaceutical Industry, November 10-11, at Princeton, New Jersey, USA. The two-day conference will address the next generation of operational and business strategies in the field of global pharmaceutical procurement. David Kinnear, President & CEO of the Global Sourcing Council, will chair the inaugural conference and host a panel of distinguished speakers with vision and insight into the future of global sourcing, including those from Johnson & Johnson, Bristol Myers Squibb, Genentech, Boehringer Ingelheim and Roche Molecular Diagnostics.
According to Jennifer Jessup, Event Director, there is no doubt that the evolution from early-day outsourcing to the more modern-day concept of global sourcing will lead to some profound changes in the way companies operate going forward. "Modern-day global sourcing serves as the foundation from which many pharmaceutical companies will operate in the years ahead," she said. "Looking ahead to the next generation of operational and business opportunity is an issue that no-one working in the field of pharmaceutical procurement can afford to ignore," she said.
Issues addressed during the course of the two days include; applying the market and regulatory trends of the future to pharma's mid- to long-term strategy; transforming procurement organizations to respond quickly to the pressures of modern-day sourcing; implementing effective risk and governance strategies when dealing with emerging markets; identifying and initiating long-term supplier relationships in the most timely and cost-effective way; and adopting a sustainable approach to remaining informed about the latest low-cost country hotspots.
Attendees will benefit from a range of in-depth case study led presentations, interactive panel sessions, and country specific roundtables, as well as a reception on the evening of Monday, November 10, 2008.
