Events & Training for February 2018
12th Annual Parallel Trade
06 February 2018 - 07 February 2018
SMi Group is proud to announce the return of Europe’s only Parallel Trade conference. Back for the 12th year, Parallel Trade returns to London on 6th-7th February 2018.
Over the years, the European Single market has allowed for pharmaceuticals to be imported and exported freely between member states without the permission of the manufacturers. However, with the arrival of Brexit and guidelines to immanently enforce the Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) by 2019, the market for pharmaceutical parallel trade is changing.
Join us as we discuss the latest changes to regulation, their implementation and major court cases in intellectual property influencing distribution practices. We will also be exploring the safety of patients in relation to the surge in pharmaceutical E-commerce and ways in which currency fluctuations are likely to disrupt the flow of drugs to certain countries in the EU and beyond.
With huge interest from leaders in the field, we have worked closely with an expert panel of speakers to present an agenda that is shaping up to be the best Parallel Trade event. This year's event will continue to lead with its unrivalled panel of experts bringing you the most insightful presentations from our confirmed Industry-leading speakers

Robotics & Automation 2018
28 February 2018 - 28 February 2018
As laboratory experimentation, data and interpretation become increasingly complex, automation and information technology (IT) solutions become essential for successful drug discovery.
The lab of the future will open unforeseen potential as higher throughput, precisely controlled automated processes; with smarter information collection and analysis, solve today’s problems and bring new opportunities.
The aspiration of this “future lab” is to empower scientists to simply perform the right experiment and bring new ideas to light.
This ELRIG meeting program will focus on how we make future laboratory solutions smarter to deliver more to science. Speakers from leading organisations will present a program focused on the fundamentals of the smart lab considering contributors such as Industry 4.0, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence, automated decision making, cloud processing and big data acquisition and handling. This one day conference will provide an exclusive opportunity to network and be involved in inspiring and interesting discussions with opinion leaders in instrumentation, informatics, lab automation, strategy developers and industrial automation experts together with a strong and aligned vendor community.
