9th Annual Cool Chain Europe 2010

9th Annual Cool Chain Europe is shaping up to be better than ever...

Cool Chain professionals have come to rely on the annual Cool Chain Europe conference and networking forum for the latest information, best practices and solutions for monitoring and controlling temperatures of biopharma products and clinical supplies.

So, we know we’ve got a big task on our hands again to make CCE 2010 better than last year.

Cool Chain Leaders Address New Temperature Control Issues at CCE 2010

New Regulatory and Industry Standard Insights on CRT, stability data and GDP best practices from Austrian Ministry of Health, EMEA, Dutch Health Inspectorate, MHRA, WHO and PCCIG

Cost-effective transportation and cool logistics presentations by UCB Pharma, Bayer Healthcare, Pfizer and Novo Nordisk who are conducting pilots and actual cold chain shipments by Ocean, Air and Road – balancing quality and cost, while increasing control and transport reliability

Bio Logistics and Packaging sessions, by GlaxoSmithKline, Omrix Biopharmaceuticals and Talecris Biotherapeutics will show how companies are ensuring their biopharma drugs are carefully handled according to GDP and GMP standards

International Distribution and New Markets presentations by Abbott Labs, Sensitech and Abbott Logistics B.V. on import/export compliance for international trade and challenges shipping to Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela

QA & Quality Distribution viewpoints from Merck Sharp & Dohme, TopoTarget and Sanofi-Aventis on risk management for temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals and getting more out of your stability data

Why has Cool Chain Europe moved from Brussels?

Well it’s quite simple really... we’ve been squeezed out of available venue spaces in Brussels. Because CCE is a Pan-European / International audience, we decided to stay on the continent and remain easily accessible by train, car and airplane.

And once you see what we have planned for CCE 2010, you’re going to see why we needed the extra space for more breakout discussions and enhanced networking with more of your industry colleagues.

The annual CCE event has added a full 2 days on COOL CLINICAL LOGISTICS!

With more biologic clinical trials and supply chains filled with bio materials, it was only a matter of time before past and prospective attendees demanded more coverage on the unique aspects of cool clinical supply chains.

You will hear case studies from Biogen, Crucell, Bayer Healthcare, University of Zagreb, Lundbeck, Osi Pharmaceuticals, Nycomed and more of your industry colleagues on how to effectively monitor temperatures, ship clinical supplies to international destinations and work with your logistics and CRO partners.
