Strengthening End-to-End Cold Chain Practices in Distribution, Packaging and Compliance of Temperature Sensitive Pharmaceuticals

With the overwhelming complexity of assuring product integrity throughout the entire distribution chain, the stability of the product is of paramount concern as it moves through the chain of custody.

Pharma IQ’s 8th Cold Chain Management & Temperature Control Summit provides the largest and most comprehensive forum for Canadian pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device professionals involved in the temperature-controlled supply chain. Attendees are able to network with and learn from other organizations who face similar challenges in monitoring, controlling, and maintaining temperatures of products throughout the supply chain – from manufacturing, warehousing, wholesalers, pharmacies, hospitals, and ultimately to the end user.

Top 5 Reasons to Attend:

  1. Hear the latest updates from global regulatory agencies, including revisions to Health Canada’s Guide-0069
  2. Streamline clearance of temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals for Canadian customs and transport
  3. Ensure optimal end-to-end cold chain management through the Canadian and global distribution networks and meet challenges during packaging, warehousing and transportation
  4. Comply with IATA Chapter 17 revised regulations and biopharma requirements for temperature sensitive products
  5. Understand and consider implementation of green, recyclable cold chain packaging practices and initiatives
