• Exploring the role of data analytics in temperature controlled logistics
• Continuous monitoring and collection of temperature and supply chain data: assessing benefits and ROI
• How data tools and techniques can improve supply chain efficiency and reduce temperature excursions
• Integrating data from multiple sources in order to have accurate visibility over supply chain logistics

• How can tools such as Chat GPT be applied to temperature controlled logistics in pharma supply chains?
• Using data driven technologies such as AI to streamline operations and increase efficiency
• Real life examples: where is AI being used in temperature sensitive supply chains outside of the industry and how can this be applied to pharma?
• Exploring the potential of AI as a tool to improve biopharma supply chain logistics

• Center of Excellence for Independent Validators: model guidance for GDP airfreight compliant logistics
• Program requirements and benefits for stakeholders
• CEIV Pharma: GDP compliance and more

• Choosing and working with vendors in clinical supply management for temperature sensitive drugs: how can you ensure you set yourself up for success?
• Effective forecasting and planning for temperature controlled supply chains in order to streamline processes and reduce drug waste
• Key pain points for clinical supply chains and how this differs from commercial shipments: overcoming challenges when shipping temperature sensitive drugs both in and out of the EU

During the roundtable discussion session, the conference hall will be divided into 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 supply chain logistics for biopharmaceuticals.
