Welcome to the 12th annual DHL Life Sciences & Healthcare Conference Berlin, Germany, June 12-14th, 2012

The annual DHL Life Sciences & Healthcare Global Conference & Workshops underpins our ongoing commitment to listen to our customers and develop innovative and tailored supply chain solutions based on the needs of the industry. Our industry is increasingly challenged by new regulatory and quality requirements, cost pressures and changing product profiles, as  globalization directs growth into emerging markets requiring infrastructure build up to enable business expansion.

At this conference you will join DHL executives, your peers and suppliers to shape industry direction and define our future strategy to enable the industry to meet its challenges and transform its supply chain.  With hundreds of logistics experts representing the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, healthcare and hospital distribution services, and clinical supply chain, this conference provides an unrivaled networking and learning opportunity.

Our guest speakers will include industry experts presenting on topics such as outsourcing global warehousing, the role of the Lead Logistics Provider (LLP), Control Tower, optimizing European road freight networks, how order to cash solutions can transform your supply chain and more.

You can choose from 40 workshop sessions exploring the most current topics affecting your business. Topics include managing global cold chain networks, supply chain outsourcing, inbound to manufacturing, order to cash and direct to pharmacy distribution, end of runway solutions, clinical trials logistics, and recent regulatory developments.

Exhibits will allow you to meet with leading suppliers having the most innovative and advanced solutions in specialty courier services, temperature controlled transportation, packaging and monitoring, as well as Information booths from DHL Express, Global Forwarding, Freight, Supply Chain and Global Mail.

You will also have the unique opportunity to arrive early and visit DHL’s European Air Hub in Leipzig on the evening of June 11th, before the Conference begins. See how multiple Express flights are handled and shipments rapidly sorted, including DHL’s soon to be opened “end of runway” medical grade logistics center. The tour has a limited capacity and is offered to registrants on a “first come, first serve” basis.

The DHL Life Sciences & Healthcare community welcomes you to the most exciting and dynamic industry event of this year!

We look forward to seeing you in Berlin!
