The International Quality and Productivity Center (IQPC; New York) has released the agenda of its September Global Cold Chain Forum, to be held in Boston on Oct. 5-9. The meeting is shaping up to be the biggest ever, featuring (so far) eight workshops, 66 exhibitors, and sessions on such topics as packaging, global logistics, CRT/Ambient, supply chain optimization, clinical trials, stability, biologics and sustainability. The last day, traditionally focused on international pharma activity, will have sessions offering perspectives from Austria, India and Brazil, among others. Pharmaceutical Commerce is a media sponsor of the event. More information is available at www.coldchainglobalforum.com.

Meanwhile, a leading vendor in the cold chain technology space, Sensitech, is sponsoring a webinar this month (June 23) on the topic of measuring the costs of lost or stolen life-sciences freight. The project builds on the expertise of a Sensitech subsidiary, FreightWatch International; Dr. Marvin Shepherd, a professor of pharmacy at the University of Texas (Austin) is a guest speaker.
