Early Bird Registration is Open for Biotech Supply Chain Academy October 19-20, 2009

July 9, 2009 - PRLog -- The Biotech Supply Chain Academy is proud to open registration to allow attendees to receive discounted admission to its premier conference for the biotech and supply chain community in the life sciences industries.  Media and Association members in the APICS, CSCMP, and ISM members receive greater discounts.  

"Increasing Governmental regulations, competitive market conditions in a consumer-centric world and the objective to significantly enhance the quality of health globally require collaborative development of solutions in a manner never witnessed before." Says Executive Director Devendra Mishra.  He adds "The historical functional excellence of enterprises is being  transformed to business processes from end to end - from suppliers to manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, hospitals, doctors and patients. As a result, supply chain management as a core competency of biotech companies is emerging as a weapon in the strategic war on efficiency, R&D failures, waste and risk. Consequently the Academy seeks to bring out the symbiotic relationships between stakeholders".

The Biotech Supply Chain Academy is the first conference of its kind to focus exclusively on the end-to-end supply chain issues of our industry. Executives from industry leaders such as, Amgen, Bayer Healthcare, Bio-Marin, Bio-Rad, Genentech, Gilead Sciences, and General Electric, as well as thought leaders from MIT, UC Berkeley, and Pepperdine University are scheduled to present their solutions, best practices and research.

Early Bird Registration ends July 31, 2009.
