7th Annual Cold Chain Management & Temperature Control Summit February 24, 2009

Ensuring product safety through the distribution chain has been made increasingly complex from changing regulations, the underlying fear of counterfeit drugs, and internationally outsourced manufacturing.

IQPC has brought together industry regulators, end-users and vendors to discuss the critical issues impacting the temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical supply chain. While focusing on the always important topics – how to monitor, control and maintain temperatures of bio-pharmaceutical products throughout the supply chain, from warehouse, wholesale, pharmacies and hospitals to the end user – this event will also provide attendees with real life solutions and techniques to deal with evolving challenges faced by the industry.

Topics To Be Discussed:
• Regulatory agency updates, including the latest revisions to Health Canada Guide-0069
• Ensuring optimal cold chain management through the Canadian distribution networks
• Maintaining quality in downstream distribution and the “Last Miles” of the Cold Chain
• Best practices for cross-border transport and global regulatory requirements
• Sea and alternative transport of bio-pharmaceutical products
• Pharmacy compounding & the role of Pharmacies in the Cold Chain
