Dealmakers’ Intentions: 2018 Market Outlook
Tuesday, June 5, 2:30 p.m. – 3:45 p.m., Room 205ABC, Level 2

As large biopharmaceutical companies prune their portfolios and consider repatriation options, the expectation is running higher than ever for an uptick in M&A this year.

Join a highly distinguished panel of dealmakers who will explore the impact these market forces will have on biopharmaceutical companies as they strive to make the next big deal.

Communicating Value Through the Eye of the Beholder
Wednesday, June 6, 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., Room 210A, Level 2

Value is in the eye of the beholder. Yet, the value of game-changing medicines is coming under greater scrutiny in the U.S. marketplace more than ever before. Companies are spending years developing drugs, only to arrive at commercialization disconnects with the very audiences they seek to serve. A well-defined value proposition for payers is no longer sufficient. Increasingly, developers must foster shared stakeholder expectations about the value of new medicines far sooner on the runway to commercialization.

Meg Alexander, Head of Reputation and Risk Management at Syneos Health will moderate a panel of leading biopharma executives, patient advocates and policy experts, providing perspectives on effective and compliant approaches to achieving shared views on value. Dialogue will reveal qualitative data on the resonance of different approaches to delivering value, from access initiatives to transparency pledges, offering actionable insights for today’s developers.
