Bayer Schering Pharma and ExL Pharma today announced that the 2nd Annual Digital Pharma Europe and 2nd Annual European Public Relations and Communications Summit will be hosted at the Bayer Schering Pharma World Headquarters in Berlin, Germany on March 29-30, 2010.
You know how everyone wants to claim that they were physically present for earth-shattering historical events?
Well, in 20 years or so, pharma people across the globe will all claim that “I was there!” for Digital Pharma 2009.
This week was full and frantically busy, and I am not just talking about the three days I drove back and forth to Bridgewater, N.J., for ExL Pharma’s Digital Pharma conference (if you want the quick lowdown on what happened there, you can find the Tweets, from me and many others, under the hashtag #DigPharm). This week, AstraZeneca offered a buyout to all of its sales representatives (and Pharmalot broke the news); Pfizer started handing out layoffs to most of the former Wyeth sales force; FDA sent a warning letter to King Pharmaceuticals over two video news releases about the pain drug Embeda; the Government Accountability Office released a report that says FDA doesn’t debar researchers quickly enough when they have been found to have conflicts of interest (another hat tip here to Ed Silverman and Pharmalot); FDA has delayed its decision on whether to approve Amgen’s denosumab; and drugmakers were found to be the biggest contributors to the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
