Moderna and PAXAFE rewrite the rules and will show you how the most disruptive player in pharma logistics—small, fast, and born from crisis—rejects “we’ve always done it this way” and turns it into a competitive advantage. Learn the methods they used to run rapid pilots, hands on RFPs, and show fast results by tearing down data silos and forging partnerships where every party benefits. You’ll leave with the blueprint top performers are already using—while your competitors are still taking notes.
