The IX International Pharma Licensing Symposium was kindly hosted by the PLG Italy and took place at the Sheraton Roma between Wednesday 28th & Friday 30th October 2009.

250 business development & licensing colleagues from 25 countries attended the symposium covering topics from licence deal structuring and drafting to emerging European markets during two days of workshops and plenary sessions.

The member PLG’s would like to thank all the speakers and workshop chairmen for their valued contribution to making the IX IPLS another successful event. The presentations proved to be very relevant to the current market and provided many interesting discussion points.

We hope that everyone who attended the symposium found the presentations and networking opportunities to be both interesting and valuable. Any feedback, both good and bad, is gratefully received to ensure the next IPLS is even better. Please forward any comments you may have to admin@plg-uk.com.

We look forward to welcoming you to the next European Meeting in Vienna at the end of September 2010, further details to follow in due course.

We would like to thank all delegates who took part in the ‘wear it pink’ day and donated to the campaign. We raised a total of £93.04 for Breast Cancer Research. Details and donations can be made at www.wearitpink.co.uk.

Mr António Barbosa, CEO, Pharmis, kindly stepped in at the last minute to present the workshop session on ‘Deal making in Latin America’ so his presentation did not appear on the symposium CD included in the delegate packs. Please find a copy of his presentation HERE.

The Delegate Contact System will remain in operation until the end of 2009 to enable further contact between delegates. The system can be accessed HERE
