The FlyPharma Conference is set to return this year, bringing together global leaders, innovators, and professionals from the pharmaceutical and cargo logistics industries in the historic city of Vienna.
This prestigious event will explore groundbreaking solutions and foster collaboration among industry stakeholders, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in pharma logistics.
The event will kick off with an insightful series of workshops designed to provide participants with hands-on experience and in-depth understanding of critical topics. Bernhard Zoidl will lead a workshop on the importance of risk assessment in pharmaceutical supply chains, focusing on the intersection of risk, regulatory compliance, and collaboration across stakeholders.
Meanwhile, Frank van Gelder, Secretary General of Pharma.Aero, will guide attendees through innovative approaches to turning business strategies into actionable plans, emphasising the creation of visionary strategies and navigating organisational change.
In addition to these workshops, FlyPharma 2024 will feature thought-provoking panel discussions addressing the most pressing issues in the industry. One such panel, moderated by Céline Crahay, will examine how to synergise pharma shipment contingency plans with crisis management within air freight logistics, exploring strategies to enhance supply chain resilience during disruptions.
The second panel, led by Dr Zvonimir Majic, will focus on the ethical considerations and challenges surrounding the adoption of AI in pharma logistics, offering insights into how these technologies can be leveraged for improved shipping solutions and risk management.
The conference will also include keynote sessions from industry leaders such as Vatsala Sadasivan of Sanofi and Luiz Barberini of Bayer, who will share their expertise on topics including operational excellence in R&D logistics and emerging trends in pharma sourcing and procurement. Networking opportunities will abound, with sponsored breaks by industry leaders like Etihad Cargo – one of the world’s leading pharma cargo airlines, and DoKaSch Temperature Solutions providing ample time for attendees to connect and collaborate.
A highlight of FlyPharma 2024 will be the exclusive Gala Dinner at the magnificent Palais Ferstel on the evening of 23rd October. This luxurious event will offer attendees the chance to network in an elegant setting while enjoying a gourmet meal, live entertainment, and speeches from distinguished industry figures. The following day, participants will have the opportunity to visit the Vienna Airport pharma cargo facilities for a site tour.
