Overview

The Conference Forum is delighted to present the 3rd Annual PODD, Partnership Opportunities in Drug Delivery event. This annual Boston based conference is designed with three purposes:

  1. To present a strategic level program for pharma and biotech business development and external licensing professionals with a thorough overview of the latest drug delivery technologies available along with an update on deals and opportunities to enhance patients’ quality of life, improve therapies and extend the life cycle of a drug.
  2. To provide drug delivery and specialty pharmas with a platform to present their technologies and get the latest insights from established pharma and biotechs as well as emerging companies on what the delivery and formulation needs are.
  3. To offer ample networking time, facilities and services for one-on-one meetings to establish new business contacts and enhance existing ones.

The 3rd annual event is chaired by Barbara Lueckel, PhD, Global Business Development Director, Roche and keynoted by Robert Langer, PhD, David H.Koch Institute Professor, MIT. Our dedicated PODD website pages will bring you through the 2012 experience to give you a sense of the standard of quality for our 2013 event.

The ultimate goal for PODD is to foster a meeting place that inspires innovation and advancement of drug development and delivery as well as providing support for the leaders behind the movement.
