What does your business intelligence team or agency need to do to make sure you aren’t left behind?

This half day workshop/seminar will take a look at where the business intelligence/commercial analytics function is today and how we have evolved over time to address pharma’s business needs.

• What challenges do we face in terms of addressing the changing requirements for new skills such as predictive analytics and data mining?
• How should we evolve to embrace new approaches, technologies, data sources and methodologies to address the needs of the future?

The morning workshop will be followed by the annual Analytics Forum in the afternoon. We hope that delegates who are full BHBIA members will be able to attend both events - click here to book for the Analytics Forum. The Analytics Forum is for full BHBIA members only, and there is no cost to attend, but you do need to make a separate booking.

This exhibition will take place over lunch, from 12.45 to 2.15pm and will be open to delegates who have attended the morning workshop session and those arriving for the afternoon forum.

Exhibitors will have a table 150 x 60 cm and space to erect a small roller banner (200cm height x 80cm wide) beside the table. A power source will be available.
