About

About The Event.

The annual conference of the BioPharmaDispatch publisher, Daily Dispatch, provides a full-day opportunity to discuss the federal government's 2023-24 Budget and other related issues.

Wider consideration of the issues.

The biopharmaceutical, medical device and diagnostic sectors share many of the same issues and challenges. Is there an opportunity for greater collaboration and cross-sector alignment on policy and stakeholder engagement? Is it even possible?

 

The conference program will be built to provide an engaging, informed and wide-ranging discussion on these and other related issues with the goal to ensure an open dialogue involving patients.

Complimentary registration will be available for patients and their representatives - email contact@dailydispatch.com.au for more information.
