Online, November 28, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are increasingly leveraging global medical conferences for more than just touting or defending their latest trial results.
"It used to be that we were asked to prepare for just product press announcements and oral data presentations," said Jerry Doyle, Principal at specialty communications consultancy CommCore, "Now that is only a part of what companies are doing at these global meetings. Today, they are holding employee 'town-hall' meetings, investor and analyst briefings, payer and patient panels, focus groups, charitable events, partner meetings and much more."
"Even regulatory bodies such as the FDA now hold advisory committee meetings right on-site at some of these conferences," continues Doyle. "You have to be ready for anything."
