Celebrating the Swiss PLG 10th Anniversary

Waldhaus Flims, Switzerland

Living with CHANGE as the only constant –
Life Science BD&L: Then, Now and Tomorrow

Indeed, one thing in our professional life we can take for granted is CHANGE in every respect. Therefore, we are addressing issues related to our business environment evolution and changes that every senior manager and business developer faces on a daily basis. Topics such as Market Access, Strategic Pricing, Emerging Markets, integration of new tools and technologies trends in legal changes are going to be covered. Experts will report experiences in facing such changes in and outside Pharma. Talking Tables on certain topics allow for sharing thoughts in a more detailed manner and to learn from the peers.

The 2012 conference seeks to explore:

• Where are the future markets and what has to be taken into account when dealing in/with such markets?
• New cooperation models, what to expect and what not?
• Where is Pharma heading and what is needed to cope with the foreseen changes?
• How to optimize value creation for technologies and products besides Pharma?
