WHAT'S HAPPENING - [view previous events]
|
MedComms Networking has evolved from what was largely UK-based activity but now embraces a global community of medical communications specialists, and we welcome participation by anyone working in or around MedComms and the global Pharma industry, anywhere in the world. I am particularly keen to see the development of activities led by other individuals and specifically based in other regions so if you would like to act as a local organiser for - or you would like to provide funding for - such events please contact me directly.
I'm always happy to chat and all feedback is welcome, so give me a shout anytime or please post your thoughts to the MedComms Networking Linkedin group for discussion.
Scroll down to see details of activities that are planned for the coming months.
Meantime, you can see reports of all the previous meetings here.
Cheers

MEDCOMMS NETWORKING VIRTUAL EVENT
Virtual events; trends, best practices and avoiding pitfalls
Venue: Global!
Date: 28 June 2017
The value of meetings to allow exchange of information and opinion, and to facilitate learning, is not in doubt but we're all aware of the significant challenges inherent in gathering people in one place at one time for a face-to-face event. Virtual meetings are increasingly being used and in this (virtual) meeting we will address current trends and best practices, drawing on case histories from within the world of MedComms and Pharma events to explore the most effective approaches that you can then incorporate in to your own activities. This meeting is supported by Blue Sky eLearn.
This meeting is free to attend for everyone. The more the merrier. We'd encourage you to attend as a group and gather your colleagues together to discuss how to apply the advice to your own activities.

WEBINAR
RightsLink and MedComms: Readout of 24 May 2017 London roundtable
Venue: Global!
Date: 6 July 2017
Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) based in Danvers, Massachusetts is the provider of RightsLink, an eCommerce platform by which licenses for the reuse of copyrighted content may be purchased via links placed directly upon the online content of participating publishers. On 24 May in London, CCC and MedComms Networking hosted a roundtable attended by over 30 delegates from medical communication agencies as well as prominent publishers of scientific, technical and medical content. The purpose was for attendees to share and discuss their needs with respect to the use of copyrighted content by today's MedComms agency, and potential solutions by which RightsLink and CCC could best meet those needs for both the publisher rightsholders and MedComms customers.
Please join us for this open invitation webinar which will provide a readout of the event's discussions, a description of planned next steps and an invitation to further collaborate with us in building better solutions.
