On behalf of the Organising Committee of South African Association of Pharmacists in Industry (SAAPI) it is our great pleasure to invite you to our annual conference, taking place virtually this year, Wednesday, 17 November – Friday, 19 November 2021.
The SAAPI Conference 2021 - “Your Future…Re-Imagine / Re-Invent …Are You Ready?” - will welcome both international and local experts in plenary sessions focusing on the importance of being future-oriented in times of rapid change and digital innovation. Our aim is to provide food for thought, spark your curiosity and energise you to prepare yourselves for a future that will require us to think out of the box and draw on skills we may never have thought necessary in the past.
The Virtual Conference will also offer delegates the opportunity to network with colleagues, trade partners and exhibitors within the virtual platform. It is the ideal time to rekindle past friendships and create new relationships for the future.
We look forward to welcoming you to our Virtual Conference and thank you in advance for your support in helping us make a successful SAAPI 2021 Conference.
Kind Regards
Tammy Maitland-Stuart
