AI is powerful, but the drug and the patient come first. This boardroom explores how teams can leverage AI safely, integrate it into workflows, and maintain human control with strong processes.

Outcome: Each table will collaborate to create practical strategies, and governance approaches that balance AI capabilities with human oversight, ensuring AI enhances decisions rather than replacing critical thinking.

A variety of alcoholic and soft drinks will be served

• How to reposition CTS from a pure logistics function to a strategic partner and enable teams to advocate their value internally to improve ClinOps outcomes
• Protocol vs. Reality: How to close the gap between protocol design and operational reality through early collaboration to ensure the supply chain matches the realities of patient care
• How to establish shared goals, KPIs, and communication frameworks between CTS and ClinOps to sustain alignment and ongoing collaboration throughout the study

• How to safeguard temperature-sensitive biologics and advanced therapies during shipping delays
• How to stay compliant with local and global regulations while maintaining chain-custody
• How to select validated storage facilities for all temperature ranges while keeping inventory visible and minimizing loss

• How to align CDMO partnerships with phase-specific needs while staying agile
• How to collaborate across CDMOs and ensure smooth tech transitions, especially for biologics therapies
• How to build transparent CDMO partnerships from Day 1 to overcome challenges and save costs

• Aligning Manufacturing, Regulatory, and Clinical Operations to eliminate silos and enable integrated, compliant decision-making
• Establishing governance and ownership frameworks linking supply execution with financial planning to drive transparency, accountability, and aligned decisions
• Identifying and resolving end-to-end process bottlenecks to improve agility, reduce risk, and ensure supply continuity across clinical and commercial programs

• From forecasting to continuous supply intelligence: why the real metric is decision latency, the time between a supply signal and a supply action, and how leading sponsors are collapsing it from weeks to hours

• The connected ecosystem in practice: how event-driven supply orchestration (IRT working in concert with eCOA, depots, couriers, and temperature data) turns thousands of small, automated decisions into fewer shipments, leaner stock, and uninterrupted patient dosing.
