Speaker
After the success of last year's virtual event, we're excited to announce a return to an in-person occasion this year at our London office.
Join us for a day exploring the legal and commercial issues that matter most to pharmaceutical and biologics companies across the UK and Europe.
We have broadly split the day's content into two parts. Over the course of the morning, we will lead with the hot issues around intellectual property in pharma. The afternoon will see discussion focusing on broader commercial and regulatory issues. Depending on your areas of interest, please select from the RSVP whether you are interested in attending some or all of the day.
In addition to our specialist panel of speakers and contributors, we are also delighted to announce that Hannah Kuchler, global pharmaceuticals correspondent for the FT will be co-chairing the day alongside our Head of International Life Sciences, Alison Dennis. Hannah will of course be contributing her unique insights throughout the day and we are delighted to say, she has also agreed to deliver a thought-provoking and interesting keynote after lunch.
We look forward to welcoming you to our offices for this not to be missed event on Thursday 22 September.
If you are based internationally and cannot join us in person, please do RSVP accordingly and we will share a link to view online.
