EXTERNAL MANUFACTURING LEADERS WEST
One day. A room of peers. The decisions behind the supply chain.
ExM Leaders West brings senior pharma and biotech leaders together for facilitated discussion on the real operational choices shaping outsourced manufacturing.
Expect specific cases, small-table debate and room to challenge the conventional answer. Discussion is held under Chatham House Rules, then distilled into a practical report for the community.
THE AGENDA
What the day will cover
Finding the right CDMO capacity, testing capability claims and negotiating from a smaller sponsor’s position
Tariffs, backups and practical strategies to protect a program when there is no second network
Regulatory changes, quality agreements and the oversight models that help teams move with confidence
Closed-door forum for senior peer discussions, fireside chats and candid insights.
