25th American Pharma and Biotech PPM Conference

"I recently had the privilege of attending the PPM Biopharma Why Summit, a 2-day conference in San Francisco focused on Project, Program, and Portfolio Management (PPM) within the Biopharma industry. It was the perfect opportunity to learn from and network with my peers, share challenges, and discuss fresh approaches. Well done WhySummit!!! Looking forward to more such opportunities!"
