Speaker: Michael J. Pischl
During his presentation, Mike will offer a strategic overview of the global branded pharmaceutical market utilizing Pharma-Key, a unique, electronic navigational reference tool that provides strategic market intelligence. The Pharma-Key interactively maps key brand name prescription drugs with links to complementary data, enabling users to intuitively answer "real world" intelligence questions. Members and visitors to this presentation will learn about the leading products of today, their origin, who markets them, and when their patents are expected to expire. They'll also learn about the expected leading products of the future, which products in Phase III development have the greatest potential, which company pipelines are running out of gas, and what company is likely to add most to its list of blockbusters. And, finally, he will touch on mergers and takeovers...a "fascinating" industry subject! Mike is currently an active partner in a unique executive pharmaceutical intelligence service. He holds a BS in Quantitative Business Analysis from the Pennsylvania State University and is a member of the Society for Competitive Intelligence (SCIP). It's a changing industry. Let's all come and see "What's New!"
Speaker: Richard McKnight, PhD
While few realize it, the fate of a pharmaceutical company is literally in the hands of its lowest level employees and supervisors. Those whose failure to comply with Federal compliance regulations can bring their company untold grief. Recent examples are Schering-Plough and Wyeth. But how does upper management get employees and managers to make compliance their #1 priority? The short answer is to build a "sustainable compliance culture." From Rick's presentation, you will find what a sustainable compliance culture is, what it looks like, and how to build and maintain one. Dr. McKnight has consulted to senior executives of over three dozen corporations including Prudential Insurance Company, KeyCorp, Aventis, Okidata, GlaxoSmithKline, Sun Company, Inc., The DuPont Company, AveryDennison, and CoreStates Financial Corporation. He holds degrees from Montana State University, the University of Washington, and Temple University. His Doctorate is in organizational psychology.

Speaker: Donna Lombardo, MS
Donna left GlaxoSmithKline last year to establish her own marketing and training consulting practice specializing in new product development and commercialization strategies. During her presentation, Donna will share lessons learned from her experience directing the worldwide commercial development and launch planning for SmithKline Beecham's first Women's Health product. You will learn about the unique challenges involved in developing and commercializing Women's Health products, including investment strategies, market development and product positioning. New business opportunities in Women's Health are being created due to shifting demographics, cultural changes and emerging research in gender-based biology. Once focused primarily on "female" disorders, today's Women's Health market encompasses such diverse therapeutic categories as cardiovascular medicine, neuroscience and immunology. Even those who don't work directly in this area may find themselves involved in a future project that has relevance to this large and growing market segment. Join us as we discuss the impact of the Women's Health market on the pharmaceutical industry and discover why it is truly "everybody's business"

"GET INTO THE SWING OF SPRING!"
Speaker: Tobey Gordon Dichter
Her first two years were enlightening. From the government rules in establishing a nonprofit-- ("What! You're a DOT.COM and not for profit?!") to the psychology of the elderly in digital denial.

Tobey will talk about what its like to "retire" after
thirty years and move to nonprofit social entrepreneurship. She

Speaker: Dennis C. Reardon, LL.M. MEET
THE SPEAKER: Mr. Reardon will bring us up to date on the ever-changing tax laws and how you can legally "outwit" the IRS. Under the new estate and gift tax law, the exemptions available will increase significantly in 2002. However, many questions remain on how to effectively deal with a law that offers a one year repeal of estate taxes; a gift tax exemption that does not change after 2002; and other features. Dennis will discuss which planning techniques are likely to continue, to proliferate, or to diminish as individuals steer through the planning opportunities offered by the new law. Mr. Reardon is a respected authority on tax and insurance planning topics. He is the author of "S Corporations: Estate, Business and Compensation Planning," and "Working with S Corporations" and has written articles on tax and benefit planning subjects for various professional journals. Don't miss this encore appearance at PCCI by such an authority on the subject. Youre time will be well-spent.....$$$$$$$!
