Best seen yet.

Very valuable.

Tom Bolger, Genzyme Ireland

Very valuable: great platform to exchange information and thoughts to vendors and business colleagues.

John van den Ender, Amgen Europe BV

Some of the speakers had really good knowledge. Really good forum for benchmarking and networking. I will come back.

Cazaux Maleville Sabine, J&J

It's a good mix of customers (pharma), authorities/regulations and service providers. A good thing is that it's not managed by one service provider.
