LogiPharma Unveils Dedicated Conference Tracks for 2024

Ahead of its highly anticipated 2024 edition, LogiPharma, the world’s largest life sciences supply chain event, has revealed more details about how guests can tailor their experience across a variety of important industry topics.

Due to take place in Lyon, France this 16-18th April, the three-day conference will feature six distinct tracks each occupying a dedicated room.


Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the latest trends and innovations shaping the future of pharmaceutical and life science supply chain industries. From strategic planning to digitalisation and temperature-controlled operations, LogiPharma offers a comprehensive range of track topics:

• Track A – Advancing Strategy, Planning & Network Design
• Track B – Delivering Digitalised, Data-Driven Supply Chains
• Track C – Mastering Temperature Controlled Operations
• Track D – Optimising Interconnected Logistics & Distribution
• Track E – Advancing MedTech Supply Chains
• Track F – Value Chain Transformation – Manufacturing Integration & Launch Management

Within each track, the conference has a broad mix of keynote case studies, interviews with industry leaders and panel discussions – with leading pharma players such as Pfizer, Bayer and Johnson & Johnson set to provide invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities currently facing the industry.

The conference also includes key themes that do not have dedicated rooms, but will feature across all tracks and plenaries – such as Procurement, Risk Management and Patient and HCP (Health Care Professionals) Connection.

Will Robinson, LogiPharma Conference Director, said, "LogiPharma is an event that is designed to recognise the dynamic nature of the pharmaceutical and life sciences supply chain.

"The tailored tracks are intended to empower attendees to curate their own agenda, focusing on the areas most relevant to their roles, interests, and expertise.

“As part the official agenda, we have also included suggestions as to which job roles may find certain tracks most relevant.”

In addition to daytime sessions in each track room, delegates can enjoy a range of panel discussions and presentations from inspirational guest speakers in the impressive Centre de Congrès 'amphitheatre', seating 900–3,220 people.

From pingpong diplomacy to supply chain diplomacy?

There’s a photo from 1971 that John Kent, professor of supply chain management at the University of Arkansas, likes to show. It’s of a shaggy-haired 18-year-old named Glenn Cowan grinning at three-time world table tennis champion Zhuang Zedong, while holding a silk tapestry Zhuang had just given him. Cowan was a member of the U.S. table tennis team who participated in the 1971 World Table Tennis Championships in Nagoya, Japan. Story has it that one morning, he overslept and missed his bus to the tournament and had to hitch a ride with the Chinese national team and met and connected with Zhuang.

Cowan and Zhuang’s interaction led to an invitation for the U.S. team to visit China. At the time, the two countries were just beginning to emerge from a 20-year period of decidedly frosty relations, strict travel bans, and trade restrictions. The highly publicized trip signaled a willingness on both sides to renew relations and launched the term “pingpong diplomacy.”

California moves a step closer to requiring EV sales only by 2035

Federal regulators today gave California a green light to tackle the remaining steps to finalize its plan to gradually shift new car sales in the state by 2035 to only zero-emissions models — meaning battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell, and plug-in hybrid cars — known as the Advanced Clean Cars II Rule.

In a separate move, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also gave its approval for the state to advance its Heavy-Duty Omnibus Rule, which is crafted to significantly reduce smog-forming nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from new heavy-duty, diesel-powered trucks.
