Meeting increasing expectations and escalating regulatory requirements to protect patients.
Rx‐360, an international, nonprofit supply-chain consortium, will be holding a symposium “Supplier Audits and Supply Chain Security: Meeting Increasing Expectations and Escalating Regulatory Requirements” on Wednesday, 29 October 2014 in Cologne, Germany at the Hyatt Regency Cologne (Kӧln).
This forum, which brings together innovator and generic drug companies, big and small, will provide European pharmaceutical manufacturers and their suppliers the opportunity to hear from regulators about their expectations for the industry as well as Rx‐360’s latest initiatives to help the industry meet these requirements globally.

- Digital age—protecting patients from falsified medicines

- Expansion of Rx‐360’s audits and shared audit program, user‐friendly database, and new collaboration with BSI
