FlyPharma 2024: Uniting Pharma and Cargo Innovators in Vienna

The FlyPharma Conference is set to return this year, bringing together global leaders, innovators, and professionals from the pharmaceutical and cargo logistics industries in the historic city of Vienna. This prestigious event will explore groundbreaking solutions and foster collaboration among industry stakeholders, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in pharma logistics.

The event will kick off with an insightful series of workshops designed to provide participants with hands-on experience and in-depth understanding of critical topics. Bernhard Zoidl will lead a workshop on the importance of risk assessment in pharmaceutical supply chains, focusing on the intersection of risk, regulatory compliance, and collaboration across stakeholders. Meanwhile, Frank van Gelder, Secretary General of Pharma.Aero, will guide attendees through innovative approaches to turning business strategies into actionable plans, emphasizing the creation of visionary strategies and navigating organizational change.

In addition to these workshops, FlyPharma 2024 will feature thought-provoking panel discussions that address the most pressing issues in the industry. One such panel, moderated by Céline Crahay, will examine how to synergize pharma shipment contingency plans with crisis management within air freight logistics, exploring strategies to enhance supply chain resilience during disruptions. The second panel, led by Dr. Zvonimir Majic, will focus on the ethical considerations and challenges surrounding the adoption of AI in pharma logistics, offering insights into how these technologies can be leveraged for improved shipping solutions and risk management.

The conference will additionally include keynote sessions from industry leaders such as Vatsala Sadasivan of Sanofi and Luiz Barberini of Bayer, who will share their expertise on topics including operational excellence in R&D logistics and emerging trends in pharma sourcing and procurement. Networking opportunities will abound, with sponsored breaks by industry leaders like Etihad Cargo - one of the world's leading pharma cargo airlines, and DoKaSch Temperature Solutions providing ample time for attendees to connect and collaborate.

A highlight of FlyPharma 2024 will be the exclusive Gala Dinner at the magnificent Palais Ferstel on the evening of October 23rd. This luxurious event will offer attendees the chance to network in an elegant setting while enjoying a gourmet meal, live entertainment, and speeches from distinguished industry figures.

FlyPharma Conferences
The first FlyPharma Conference was launched in September 2015 at London Heathrow, pooling Samedan's broad readership across the pharmaceutical and logistics/cargo industries. One title in particular complements the conference's theme well and provided the basis of the FlyPharma concept: Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Packing Sourcer (PMPS).

PMPS offers extensive pharmaceutical experience from a manufacturing, packaging and logistics perspective, and particularly relevant are its cargo-related readers - forwarders, handlers, airports and carriers. Other supporting titles from the Samedan and PMGroup portfolio include Pharmafocus, PharmaTimes and PME, all of which offer an audience of pharma industry professionals with a diverse range of backgrounds and provide both thought-led features and news-driven energy. Together, these publications support FlyPharma as media partners and provide a strong base for opening up communication between two sectors (pharma and cargo) that depend on each other for success.

In 2018, FlyPharma expanded to three regional events: Asia, Europe and US. Each conference was a success and was met with extremely positive feedback from the industry. FlyPharma Europe took place again in 2019 in Copenhagen, in its largest event to date. After a break in response to the challenges of COVID-19, FlyPharma Europe returned in 2022 and took place in Leipzig, Germany on 20-21 September, followed by FlyPharma Europe 2023 in Vienna, Austria on 10-11 October. All events cover global pharma supply chain challenges and collaborative opportunities, but each focuses on how that particular region's unique characteristics both impact and fit within a worldwide marketplace.
