12th annual Parallel Trade
2018-02-06 - 2018-02-07 | Holiday Inn Kensington Forum, London UK
SMi Group is proud to announce the return of Europe’s only Parallel Trade conference. Back for the 12th year, Parallel Trade returns to London on 6th-7th February 2018.

Over the years, the European Single market has allowed for pharmaceuticals to be imported and exported freely between member states without the permission of the manufacturers. However, with the arrival of Brexit and guidelines to immanently enforce the Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) by 2019, the market for pharmaceutical parallel trade is changing.
Join us as we discuss the latest changes to regulation, their implementation and major court cases in intellectual property influencing distribution practices. We will also be exploring the safety of patients in relation to the surge in pharmaceutical E-commerce and ways in which currency fluctuations are likely to disrupt the flow of drugs to certain countries in the EU and beyond.
With huge interest from leaders in the field, we have worked closely with an expert panel of speakers to present an agenda that is shaping up to be the best Parallel Trade event. This year’s event will continue to lead with its unrivalled panel of experts bringing you the most insightful presentations from our confirmed Industry-leading speakers
Parallel Trade 2018 will cover the important issues of:

– Maintaining the integrity of the supply chain
– Addressing recent developments concerning intellectual property and regulatory law
– Forecasting currency fluctuations across the single market and the affect this might have on drug shortages, prices and patient accessibility
– Exploring how Brexit will impact pharmaceutical trade and
– market access in Europe
– Providing an insight into current anti-trust investigations from industry leaders and the consequences this could have on pharmaceutical parallel trade

Temperature Controlled Logistics 2018
2018-01-29 - 2018-02-01 | Twickenham Stadium, London
In planning the 2018 Temperature Controlled Logistics conference, Pharma IQ surveyed over 50 senior supply chain and logistics experts from big and small pharmaceutical companies, as well as from consumer industries. The main question they were looking to answer was: what is the main factor that defines a cost effective, secure, and GDP compliant temperature controlled supply chain that experiences minimal temperature excursions? The overarching answer was clear: planning. Strengthen your end-to-end supply chain planning, and your temperature controlled logistics will be easier, cheaper, and better.

In recognition of this, TCL 2018, takes you on a journey from the beginning of your supply chain, to the very end. The three separate streams will look at:
-> Pre-Transportation – with sessions such as “Enabling End-to-End Supply Chain Planning, Visibility, and Decision Making through Standardisation & IT Integration Across Global Sites” (Merck) and “Optimising Lane Qualification with all Supply Chain Stakeholders in Challenging Shipping Environments” (Bayer)
-> Transportation – with sessions such as “A Global Approach to Reducing Temperature Excursions” (Genzyme) and “Maintaining Temperature Control in the World’s Most Challenging Situations” (Médecins Sans Frontières)
-> Last Mile and Post-Distribution – with sessions such as “Last Mile Distribution – The Final Stage of End-to-End Temperature Monitoring (EZR Group) and “Working with Partners to Close Gaps in the Last Mile” (Novartis)
The goal of the event is for each and every delegate who attends TCL 2018 to leave understanding what best practice planning and execution looks like at every stage of their temperature controlled supply chain. With over 50 case studies from pharmaceutical manufactures and regulatory bodies that address key operational and strategic considerations, bring your team to ensure coverage of all relevant sessions.
The world famous exhibition will, as per tradition, run parallel to the conference, so that you have the chance to identify solution providers who can support the implementation of new solutions and strategies. In a brand new location of Twickenham Stadium, the big red London bus won’t be joining this year, but they have plenty of new surprises that await! Don’t to miss the BRAND NEW Sea Freight Focus Day!
