NEXT-level Summit agenda reveal

Frogs will be boiling in water and the cat will be among the pigeons as NEXT Pharma Summit kicks off with a bang in August. Pharma in Focus has got hold of the Day 1 agenda, and it promises to be fast, feisty and controversial.

“The Day 1 morning isn’t a warm-up,” said Steve Royle, founder of the engagement platform Rumi and one of the event’s organisers. “It’s a four-session reckoning designed to put the state of the local industry on the table without flinching.”

In the opening event, a panel of GMs will debate the “state of the union”: where the industry stands and what it will take to keep new medicines coming to Australia.
