The quality of the congress is a direct result of its exclusivity.

The PHARM Connect Congress 2012 also provides an opportunity to visit the TEVA Logistics Centre in Gödöllő or the Sanofi plant in Veresegyház on February 9th, available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Moreover, it is the perfect setting for local and international solution-providers to present their products and services directly to key decision-makers. Each solution-provider is selected based on requirements and interests stated by attending pharmaceutical professionals prior to the event.

Several weeks in advance of the event the TEG Meeting Scheduler is made available to every solution-provider and delegate attending. Participants receive personalised passwords to access the website where they are able to select key presentations, pre-schedule one-to-one meetings and confirm their presence at several additional networking activities. Through the Meeting Scheduler participants have the opportunity to create their own itinerary prior to the congress taking place.

Do not miss this opportunity to network and establish connections, exchange ideas and gain knowledge!
