This year, the PharmaLink conference takes place March 24th - 27th at the Cintas Center on the Xavier University Campus, Cincinnati, Ohio.

David Lowndes, Senior Vice President of Supply Chain at Shire Pharmaceuticals says that if you want to “change the way this industry performs and solve some of the huge problems that have been created for patients, for employees of companies that maybe don’t exist anymore, for other stakeholders in our industry”, then this is the conference to be at.

The PharmaLink conference seeks solutions to important and complicated issues by aligning with the strategic priorities of the Food & Drug Administration. It's focus is to help participants create links to drive new thinking.

Solutions might not be evident within pharmaceuticals, to they also explore beyond it; beyond borders, and beyond comfort zones.

“We are a very conservative industry and to be challenged by people other than the agency, by practitioners from other industries, is a very healthy way of hearing the message. Very uncomfortable sometimes! But very good for us. And then to have practitioners from our own industry who come in and say, “Here’s a great example of how we’ve done it,” allows us to go back to our office with something that’s implementable.” - David Lowndes
