SMi Group are proud to announce the 9th Annual Orphan Drugs and Rare Diseases Conference, taking place on the 15th and 16th October 2019 in London, UK.
The orphan drug market is continuously growing and is expected to reach $176 billion by 2020, with a CGR of 10.5% just for orphan drugs – this is twice the growth rate of the overall prescription drug market (5.3% CGR from 2014-2020). By 2020, orphan drugs are set to account for 19% of global prescription sales.

This is due to the arising interest from pharmaceutical companies for underlying benefits, such as the potential discovery of mechanisms for more common diseases, and also the involvement of many smaller biotechnology start-up companies who are primarily focused on rare diseases.
​
 The 2019 agenda features various key presentations by leading solution providers, biotechnology companies, clinical researchers, regulatory professionals and charity leaders discussing possible ways to accelerate orphan drug development and access to rare disease patients, including the introduction of recent technologies and products to help aid the access of orphan drugs.​

BENEFITS OF ATTENDING

• DISCUSS the intervention of pharmaceutical companies and patient advocates in developing lifelong rare disease treatments with Takeda
• EXPLORE the current development of strategies aimed to improve patient access to orphan drugs with Genetic Alliance UK

Now recognised as the largest and most established European orphan drug event, we are once again proud to deliver another outstanding speaker line-up and a content-filled agenda that represents the whole orphan drug landscape. The 10th annual event will address the strategic and commercial aspects of bringing new treatments to patients who suffer from rare diseases.
For 2019 we will be expanding the meeting further with a dedicated co-conference on Cell & Gene Therapy and even more dedicated content and tracks than ever before on Clinical/Product Development, Market Access & Pricing, Manufacture, Science & Strategy, Pitch & Partner and Precision Medicine. We will also continue the highly popular Pre-Congress Workshops.

BioData World is Europe's largest big data in pharmaceutical development and healthcare congress. The congress was initially designed through a partnership with EMBL-EBI and the Sanger Institute four years ago to tackle the issues of driving big data into the clinic and pharmaceutical development in the most streamlined way possible.
The event will showcase innovation, demonstrate success and break through the obstacles and barriers to ensure that the innovations in genomics and big data enter the clinic with speed and efficiency. It will aim to make the dream of stratified medicine a reality.
