GREEN FOR GROWTH – THE GAMBICA ANNUAL LAB SECTOR CONFERENCE 2023
Many members had their best ever years in 2020 and 2021 so the 2023 conference will be all about how you maintain that performance in the coming more turbulent period. The conference will offer expert speakers who will set out the political and economic framework you will be working within, provide insights on your customers’ key purchasing criteria, and offer inspiration and pointers for you on establishing your sustainability credentials. It will also offer the latest expert views on how to refine your go-to-market strategy and what actually works best when selling B2B.
FORECASTS FOR THE COMING YEAR
Noted TV commentator, Anand Menon, will be this year’s keynote presenter giving you an expert view of future trading arrangements with the EU. There will be party political insights from renowned lobbyist, John Arnold, and an economic forecast from Frances Haque, chief economist at Santander Bank.
Sales in the post Covid era – what works best?
As well as offering expert insights on the latest thinking on how to optimise your Go To Market strategy, this session will include real-life experience from companies like yours on what actually works best for them.
Your part in meeting clients’ sustainability targets
The pharma industry is taking to heart its UN Race To Zero targets and has started to take up lab certification in large numbers. In order to address their Scope 3 emissions (those not under their direct control) most of the major lab customers are now setting sustainability targets for their providers. In this session you will hear about these targets from two major pharma clients, and then will get some information on how GAMBICA can help you can take your first steps to meet their expectations and benchmark your sustainability performance against your peers. It will also help you to retain value in your equipment even once sold.
The conference will take place on the 14 March 2023 with the conference dinner on the evening of the 13th at Stapleford Park Hotel, LE14 2EF near Melton Mowbray.
