Cold Chain Smart Solutions Conference

19 - 21 January 2011, Barcelona, Spain
The Cold Chain Smart Solutions Conference is the perfect place to get up to speed with the latest regulations, technology and processes that are necessary to operate a cost-effective and compliant temperature controlled supply chain.

Due to greater temperature ranges and novel biotech drugs coming onto market the number of cold chain shipments by air, road and sea continue increasing. Temperature controlled and pharmaceutical shipping are widely expected to lead the recovery in terms of growth rates. Therefore the most immediate investment priorities of pharmaceutical, shipper, wholesaler companies and CMOs should include cold chain capabilities.

By attending you will have the chance to listen to conference presentations, panel discussions, specialist discussion forums, tailor-made streams about the burning topics of the industry - such as the most updated regulatory roadmap, quality systems and agreements, RF-enabled product visibility, electronic temperature monitoring, satellite tracking, "Last mile" issues, new market focus on Asia, shipping by ocean, cold chain packaging & shipping smart solutions: PCM, going green, active ULDs, battery-assisted passive RFID, etc.

In the frame of a highly interactive Post-Conference Workshop you will gain an insight into the newest real-life strategies how to mitigate the risks and optimize the cold chain costs efficaciously.
