This event is very different from a traditional trade show — it’s more intimate which makes it easy to connect with relevant stakeholders. Right after my presentation, I was able to have direct conversations with relevant stakeholders and discuss questions that are important for my organization. There is also plenty of time built in between sessions for networking and socialising, which is equally important for me.
VP, Operations, Global Contract, Manufacturing Drug Product

Effective and proactive communication was a key takeaway for me. The networking exceeded my expectations, with plenty of time to connect and have meaningful conversations. The discussions around collaboration and integration between CDMOs and sponsor companies were highly relevant.

The format of the summit has been great, with excellent participation. It’s the first conference I’ve attended that focuses almost exclusively on CMO outsourcing, which felt like a breath of fresh air. The summit created space for networking and for connecting with like-minded individuals to discuss relevant topics organically.
Executive Director, CMO Sourcing and Supply Chain

What stood out for me was the opportunity to connect with a very diverse group of peers from across the industry, which is not easy to do in day-to-day work. The summit felt like the right size - not too big, not too small - making it easy to access people, connect, and have meaningful conversations. The agenda was well balanced, with high-quality presentations and plenty of time for networking, which made the experience very worthwhile.
