Additional benefits of attending a VIBpharma conference:

  • Research into the topic: we come up with innovative ideas and are generally the first in niche fields. We are known, even by our competitors, to be a source of genuinely new ideas rather than ‘me-too’, copycat products
  • Depth of knowledge without sales pitches: our information products are “narrow and deep” rather than broad and vague allowing our clients to get focused, highly targeted information that adds real value.  This also means that networking opportunities are more focused on other like-minded people in smaller forums rather than huge, diffuse gatherings.
  • Tailoring the content to your situation: whilst the content is narrow and deep our “open mic” sections allow you to put all the speakers in the hot seat and pose your individual queries
  • Interaction: we always aim to allow delegates to intermingle as much as possible with the experts, lunch and breaks are devised to facilitate “getting stuck-in” so you can ask the difficult questions on a one to one basis to the speakers
  • Panel discussions and roundtable discussions: many of our conferences reject the traditional conference format in favour of just sitting you down round a table with the authorities on the topic so you can hammer out the issues that interest you.
  • Networking: networking opportunities are more focused on other like-minded people in smaller forums rather than huge, diffuse gatherings, so you will meet relevant people in your industry that share a common goals and issues.
