Internet Conference Gives Cross-Discipline Overview of Managing Knowledge in Pharma & Life Science
Douglas Connect announces the virtual conference, Integrating Knowledge in the Life Science Product Life Cycle, which will take place on the Internet between 18th and 29th October, 2004.
Zeiningen , Switzerland (PRWEB) July 29, 2004 -- Douglas Connect announces the virtual conference, Integrating Knowledge in the Life Science Product Life Cycle, which will take place on the Internet between 18th and 29th October, 2004. This international conference features keynotes by acknowledged leaders, including Eric Neumann (CKO, Aventis), Debra Amidon (CEO, Entovation), Douglas Weidner (CKO, KMPro) and Etienne Wenger, as well as over thirty-five speakers from a wide range of innovative companies who will share their strategies, practices, and supporting solutions for implementing the best product development and life cycle management in the pharmaceutical, life sciences and healthcare industries.
As Dr. Jeff Spitzner, Founder and Chief Science Officer of Rescentris and Co-Chair of the conference said, "From drug discovery research, through product development and trials, to regulation and the clinic, a tremendous volume and variety of complex information is being generated. The investment in the creation and storage of this information in both the private and public sectors involves tens of billions of dollars, but this information is often not easy to retrieve and reuse, to put it mildly! Improving and integrating processes to manage this knowledge is one of the major challenges facing all managers in a life science company today and why weve organized this cross-discipline program."
"Yes," agreed Co-Chair Dr Barry Hardy, Program Director of Douglas Connect, "We've sought to bring together top people in their respective fields and I think this has only been possible due to the unique format of holding such a conference over the Internet. To have companies like Sun, Aventis and Pfizer, knowledge management experts, implementers of the latest electronic R&D and semantic Web technologies, as well as leading legal, regulatory, clinical trial and pharmacovigilance expertise come together at the same conference- which anyone can attend from their own desktop and at a time of their own choosing- means that even the busiest managers can keep track of the latest developments in those fields that interface with their own."
The seminars will be organized into nine sessions, each chaired by a specialist who will also hold a teleconference for discussion and Q&A between the speakers and the audience. The conference takes place within the Knowledge Management in Pharma & Life Sciences Hub using a platform developed by Colayer for communities of interest to interact.
