During the roundtable discussion session, the conference hall will be divided into three ‘zones’. Delegates can choose which zone they would like to join. Each zone will be led by a table moderator and will focus on a different challenge within clinical supply chains. After 45 minutes, delegates will have the opportunity to swap and choose a different table, and each roundtable will run twice.
