WuXi Global Forum

Jan. 10, 2022

Dear IATI Members,

We are delighted to share with you below the full agenda for the 10th annual WuXi Global Forum, which will unite 6,000+ colleagues from around the world to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing our industry and to catalyze actionable solutions for patients.

Taking place on Jan 10, 2022, this 3-hour complimentary and virtual 10-year special edition will focus on “Impact.” What impact have we had on our patients during the past 10 years? How will technologies shape breakthroughs in the next decade? What can we do collectively and collaboratively to make a bigger social impact? We will also pay special tribute to two industry giants and our past speakers, the late Jose Baselga and the late Tachi Yamada. Their impacts are far-reaching, and they are inspirations for us all.
