Combined with Copenhagen’s commitment to sustainability, streamlined port-airport connectivity and a highly collaborative business culture, the city offers a uniquely focused and forward-looking backdrop for advancing the global pharma logistics dialogue.
There will be plenty of networking opportunities, including a Pre-Conference Welcome Reception the night before the conference, and an evening Networking Event following Day 1 of conference sessions.
