SUMMARY:Creating Value Beyond Product and Price in the Pharma Customer–Supplier Relationship
DESCRIPTION:Creating Value Beyond Product and Price in the Pharma Customer–Supplier Relationship Wednesday\, March 25\, 2026 • 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM • InterContinental New York Barclay\, Grand Ballroom (2nd Floor)\n \nValue Creation: Are Pharma Customers & Suppliers on the Same Page?\nIn a highly competitive environment\, providing value beyond core deliverables of product and price is crucial for CDMOs and materials suppliers to gain and maintain an edge with their bio/pharma customers\, but do bio/pharma companies and their suppliers agree on what constitutes value-added enhancements? Although bio/pharma companies look for innovation from CDMOs and materials suppliers\, are they providing what bio/pharma companies are seeking? And more importantly\, who\, how\, and when are value-added enhancements factored into the price and cost structure of a given project?   \n Gain valuable insights from an executive panel providing a “buy-and-sell-side view” on:  \n\n What Constitutes Value Creation? Are there particular services or situations for which value-added enhancements are more likely to be offered than for other services? Is there a trend to offer value-adding services more frequently? Less frequently? \n How is Value Creation Measured? When value-adding enhancements are proposed during the sourcing/procurement process\, how formally are they evaluated? Is there a formal cost/benefit analysis done or is the evaluation more subjective? \n\nPanelists\n\nVince Ricevuto\, Vice President\, Research & Development\, Facilities\, Capital\, and Logistics Procurement\, GSK\nMichael Hoffman\, Vice President\, Process Engineering and API Clinical Supplies\, AbbVie\nPaul Smaltz\, Senior Vice President\, Pharmaceutical Solutions\, BASF\nJason Bertola\, Executive Director\, Commercial Development\, Advanced Synthesis\, Lonza\nPanel Moderator: Jim Miller\, Content Advisor\, DCAT\n\nPlus\, get the highlights of the key findings from a DCAT Research & Benchmarking study\, Creating Value Beyond Product and Price in the Pharma Customer–Supplier Relationship\, available for download here. The report is available exclusively and free of charge to DCAT Member Companies. \nPrice & Registration\nDCAT Member Company Price: Complimentary  \nDCAT Week 2026 programs are exclusively available to registered DCAT Member Company employees.
