Beyond the Horizon A Retrospective Look, a View of the Present & Gazing to the Future

Mon, Sep 29, 2025 · 2:10–2:55 PM EDT Ballroom I-II, Baltimore Convention Center

About this session

Industry Symposium brought to you by SCDM Partner Pfizer
Join us in this inaugural partner-sponsored symposium for an insightful session that revisits the transformative year of 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic reshaped our world, altering the way we work, live, and interact. In 2021, the "Jab of Hope" session at the annual conference brought together industry leaders who shared their experiences in developing the vaccines that met the global challenge.
Now, five years later, we invite you to "Beyond the Horizon," where these same leaders plus a representative from the FDA will look beyond the development of the vaccines by reflecting on the past, examining the present, and looking towards the future. This session will explore:
- Accuracy of the predictions made five years ago.
- Practices implemented during the pandemic that have become standard business practice.
- Initiatives & processes, once thought to be permanent, that have faded away.
We will delve into these questions from three key perspectives: people, process, and technology. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and engage with industry experts as we navigate the evolving landscape of our field.
