Highly relevant topics and overall, above my expectations" he added, "it was a really worthwhile investment - it's really been good to be here".
The summit aims to provide the perfect environment for key decision makers to network and collaborate with their peers, discuss organizational strategies for the future and establish meaningful working relationships with a dynamic selection of delegates, vendors and sponsors. Offering an alternative to the traditional conference format, the summits provide true innovation and value for money.
Charlotte Wright, Summit Director at GDS International, the global business event company behind NGP DD, says, "The Industry and Academia need to work alongside each other and become more open with the sharing of information if this Industry is to move forward, which I feel is where the Next Generation Pharmaceutical Drug Development 30 (NGP DD 30) comes into play. The NGP DD 30 summit brings together 30 Senior Level executives from within the Industry to network and mind share with their peers. We offer our executives an exciting opportunity to dissect the industry, share personal experiences and come up with best practices moving forward. I for one thoroughly look forward to the discussions and seeing the outcomes at the event in September. No doubt this will once again be a fantastic event!"
