Pharma IQ’s 8th Cold Chain Management & Temperature Control Summit provides the largest and most comprehensive forum for Canadian pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device professionals involved in the temperature-controlled supply chain. Attendees are able to network with and learn from other organizations who face similar challenges in monitoring, controlling, and maintaining temperatures of products throughout the supply chain – from manufacturing, warehousing, wholesalers, pharmacies, hospitals, and ultimately to the end user.
