8:00 am Check-In & Morning Coffee
8:50 am Chair’s Opening Remarks
Advancing Standardization Across Processes, Systems, & Technologies to Enable Efficiency, Interoperability, & Scalable Operations
9:00 am Embedding Standards Early in the Process for Optimal Compliance
- Explore emerging scenarios for extending chain of identity (CoI) beyond autologous therapies to support commercial and off-the-shelf models and streamline end-to-end services
- Examine how accrediting bodies evolve requirements from “should” to “shall”, and what that shift means for sustained compliance over time
- Identify future proofing strategies for applying chain of identity identifiers across systems
9:30 am ucing Operational Complexity at Sites & Treatment Centres for HighQuality, Reliable Care
- Minimizing variability in packing, documentation, and procedures to lower training burdens, reduce liability, and decrease error risk
- Standardizing chain of identity and chain of custody practices to improve interoperability across sponsors, logistics providers, and clinical sites
- Designing processes around patient and site realities with clearer, more consistent expectations for storage, transportation, and digital workflows
10:00 am Maximizing Impact by Balancing Innovation, Budget, & Technology for Sustainable Growth
- Prioritizing therapeutic innovation while allocating resources effectively to support digital and operational needs
- Managing technology and software adoption costs to ensure optimal performance and return on investment
- Guiding emerging biotechs to stretch limited funds effectively while fostering innovation
