Additional issues, such as the supply chain and workplace wellbeing post COVID-19, will also be tackled.

The Women in Leadership Forum, which is a regular event at the CPhI Worldwide congress, will also be held virtually, including talks from female CEOs. Additionally, the CPhI Pharma Awards will be held via a dedicated virtual ceremony.

“We have designed the content to be incredibly varied and will feature a range of formats from webinars, panel discussions, and podcasts to traditional media interviews, white papers, and unique market insights,” said Tara Dougal, head of content at CPhI Festival of Pharma, in the press release. “The latter will run in the second week and mirror our traditional World of Pharma podiums with market data on India, Japan, and the US.”
