In response to this growth, the 7th Annual Alliance Management Congress has tailored its agenda with content and speakers from alliance management, diagnostics, and medical devices. Most of the Congress agenda features unique case studies of specific collaboration and implementation examples. The main Congress agenda begins with thought leaders discussing industry trends and deal making strategies, followed by shared learnings from different types of alliances, and concluding with how the alliance management infrastructure is developed.
