An Executive Dinner by GEN - The Global Executive Network is an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas with experts and peers and discuss the latest and most important trends for a specific industry-related or management-focused topic.

Executive Dinners are usually attended by between 20 and 30 executive guests and participation is always free of charge.

Hear how leading companies deal with the current market challenges, discuss pharmaceutical and clinical safety and engage in high-level networking.

The procedure for Serious Adverse Event (SAE) reporting relies on multiple exchanges of information between sites and sponsors, often on different continents, in different time zones, using different languages. Exchanging information in this global environment is complicated and can increase the room for error. Inability for a site to communicate the case history to the sponsor or for the sponsor to report the event to the other study investigators can increase the risk to other study patients and result in sponsor liability. And yet in this increasingly complex and regulated environment, companies continue to use traditional, non-secure methods for SAE reporting and notification.

This dinner event will review and discuss the latest thinking in tools and technology solutions that streamline the entire safety reporting process.

Topics to be discussed at this Dinner:

• Safety in clinical trials: How to increase speed and reduce cost managing key processes in adverse events?

• Best practices for the secure exchange of information in safety reporting

• Leading views of the capabilities of technology in life sciences with focus on managing adverse events (safety letter, compliance reporting, adverse event reporting policies etc.)

This Executive Dinner is of particular interest to:

• Director/Chief/VP/SVP/Head of Safety (all safety issues)
• Director/Chief/VP/SVP/Head of Pharmacovigilence
• Director/Chief/VP/SVP/Head of Medical Affairs
• Director/Chief/VP/SVP/Head of Medical Safety Operations
