INTERACTIVE BREAK-OUT ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS
CHI’s Pharmaceutical Strategy Series is pleased to invite you to attend the inaugural “Drug Development Latin America” being held March 9-10, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency Miami in Miami, FL.
The globalization of R&D into emerging regions continues. Growing R&D spending in these regions has been driven by many factors including the attractiveness of commercial markets there, more favorable economics including lower relative costs for greater speed, access to highly skilled professional labor and a large pool of patients, particularly treatment-naïve ones.
Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are seeing rapid growth in the volume of their research, development, and clinical trials activity in Latin America. At the same time, this region presents unique challenges that must be anticipated and managed. Join us for this two-day meeting that will include keynotes, case study presentations, interactive panels and roundtable discussions.
We look forward to your attendance in March in Miami.
Very sincerely,
Micah Lieberman
