With billions of dollars’ worth of trade constantly at risk, developing sound strategies for improving resiliency is echoed from boardrooms down to team levels across all industries. We kick off day 3 of LogiPharma with an out of industry supply chain leader who will share their industry’s view on resilience and share some insight into how they approach supply chain resilience and find success with their strategies.
Cell & gene therapies, mRNA vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and nucleic acid therapies (to name a few) have all gained popularity over the last few years. These medicines not only hold immense promise for saving lives but come at a hefty price tag to produce, store and ship. In an article published by PharmaExec.com, it is estimated that about $34 billion is lost annually to temperature excursions, making the transportation and storage of these pricy therapies even more critical to the business. Join us as we look at the global supply chain and dive into ways to enable the successful shipping of these types of medications across the globe. Topics include:
- Developing global strategies for real time temp control and monitoring for ultra-low temperature therapies.
- Assessing global partnerships for medication storage and transportation.
- Identifying new technologies that help ensure OTIF deliveries of ultra-low temp medications.
In the pharma supply chain, leaders need to find a way to strike a balance between resiliency and reliability. Figuring out how to address short-term challenges while laying the groundwork for long-term success involves strategic planning, properly leveraging technology and the capacity to build and maintain strong relationships. Join us for a panel discussion that focuses on:
- Understanding your current capabilities and working alongside internal and external stakeholders to develop sound and effective goals.
- Keeping patient centricity in mind as you strategize and develop key metrics to ensure you’re focusing on the right targets.
- Understanding the different tools and technologies that can help leaders develop better strategies.

It seems like more and more each day, the pharma supply chain’s risk landscape seems to get bigger and deeper. As threats evolve, so too must our understanding on circumventing and anticipating future risks. Join us for a session that looks at today’s major disruptions and looks at the possible evolution of these threats to our supply chains. Topics include:
Disruptions that cause major shifts in consumer demand are more common than ever before. Those companies that are able to predict, prepare and perform in the face of those shifts will find themselves at an advantage. It’s less complicated to develop strategies internally to meet consumer demand, but once you zoom out and incorporate those critical external partners, strategies become harder to develop and even more difficult to execute. While there is no easy answer to finding success in this arena, there are steps you can take to begin de-risking your global ops. Join us for a panel discussion that looks at global de-risking strategies and focuses on meeting global customer demand in an increasingly volatile supply chain landscape. Topics include:
- Identifying key partners through smart analytics and data optimization.
- Leveraging AI and other key tools to help prepare contingencies and execute strategies.
- Understanding how the global supply chain is changing and the types of partnerships you should be looking to reduce risk and be able to meet customer demand.
Building a supply chain team that is diverse and inclusive should be a main priority for all leaders. In fact, according to a Harvard Business Review study, companies that make it a point to actively pursue and reach DEI targets enjoyed a 19% higher innovation rate. However, creating a diverse team is so much more than simply checking boxes. Join us as we look into the ways leaders can create a more diverse workforce and some of the great things your organization can do to improve diversity and inclusion within your ranks.
According to the World Economic Forum, by 2027 almost half of workers’ core skills will be disrupted and impacted by technological requirements. As technology outpaces the capacity for companies to adjust, learning what skills are needed and how you should hire is something that leaders need to be aware of, right now. To add to this reality, getting folks back in the office is a subject that has leaders and employees alike divided. The WEF also notes that 46% of employees are still interested in remote or hybrid positions, further causing questions around developing team culture and career advancement. This panel will look at the future of work in relation to technology and culture and will look to address:
- Key trends in hiring for the pharma supply chain.
- What employers should be looking for in hiring.
- How to develop a team culture in a remote or hybrid setting.
At LogiPharma, we love that we can help you meet new peers and learn new ways to improve the supply chain. But we want to be more than just a place where you have fun and learn, we want to be the event you look forward to because you will leave knowing how to take advantage of future opportunities and where to look to handle future hurdles. This closing panel will take a look at all the lessons learned throughout the program and will look to answer the one question all leaders have in the back of their mind: What’s Next?
