Track-and-Trace Technology Seminar
Monday, November 8 - Wednesday,
November 10, 2010
Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center • National Harbor, Md.
Overview
New technology and evolving regulations have led to a business environment that demands you stay abreast of the latest industry developments surrounding the use of track-and-trace technologies in the healthcare supply chain.
This seminar provides all segments of the supply chain an opportunity to discuss new implementation strategies and learn about the latest industry-wide efforts to advance these technologies. You will:
- Explore the impact of the latest regulations, standards, business processes and technologies;
- Find out the practical, collaborative actions the industry is taking to make the most of this rapidly-changing environment;
- Learn from your peers and trading partners as they share their experiences through case studies and pilot projects; and
- See the latest track-and-trace solutions at the seminar’s table-top exhibits.
Presentations will highlight such special interest areas as understanding existing and potential regulations, end-to-end supply chain track and trace, aggregation of serial numbers, the impact of technology choices and other key topics. The program will conclude with a forward-looking examination of benefits the industry could receive from implementing serialization and track-and-trace technologies.
Who Should Attend
This seminar is a must-attend for pharmaceutical distributors, manufacturers and retailers seeking to explore and discuss implementation strategies and the latest industry developments surrounding the use of track-and-trace technologies in the healthcare supply chain.
