Understanding the changing world of technology, the daily advances in science and medicine, the political, social, competitive and regulatory environments in which we operate. All while struggling to get our unique messages out as the number of biotechnology companies grows and the number of global pharmaceutical companies shrinks. These are but some of the challenges lifesciences business development people find themselves facing as they implement strategies for survival and growth. The Addon Seminar will discuss bigco's and smallco's, vaccines and venture capitalists, the needs of physicians and the reimbursement systems that pay them, the beginnings of biotech and insights into tomorrow. This is also your opportunity to quiz pharmaceutical company executives during the session: "Questions I Always Wanted Somebody Else to Ask."
