2017 ASAP BioPharma Conference Returns to Cambridge, Mass.
Experts Present Strategies, Models
and Use Cases for 'Accelerating
Life Science Collaborations: Better
Partnering, Better Outcomes'
Partnering remains essential to
long-term asset development in life
sciences, but today collaboration is

everywhere in the life sciences organization-thanks to patient-centric
healthcare, personalized medicine,
transformational technologies, new
ways to leverage old assets, and more.
This reality informs the theme of the
Sept. 13-15, 2017 ASAP BioPharma
Conference: "Accelerating Life Science
Collaborations: Better Partnering, Better Outcomes," to be held Sept. 13-15 at
the Royal Sonesta Boston in Cambridge,
Mass. After several years in Boston, the
2017 BioPharma Conference heads
back across the Charles River to the
heart of US life sciences partnering.
The speaker lineup, still growing, includes Dr. David Williams, chief

Hospital, and president of the Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood
Disorders Center, as well as experts from
Sunovion Pharmaceuticals, Takeda,
Medimmune, Charles River, The
Rhythm of Business, and Vantage Partners. Topics range from capabilitybuilding case studies, learning agility,
and managing conflict to external innovation, models for emerging drug
discovery alliances, and learning from
high tech to improve performance of
supply and distribution partnerships.
With programming curated specifically
for biopharmaceutical, biotech, and
healthcare executives, the ASAP BioPharma Conference is the pivotal event
each year for partnering in health and
life sciences. Learn more and get early
