In the previous blog posting I listed some of the podcasts that make it easier to stay on top of the changes that drive the pharmaceutical industry.
There are a number of conferences and societies that provide webcasts of their sessions, in addition to podcast content. These are really useful when you can’t make it to a conference, or can’t make it to 3 sessions scheduled at the same time, or can’t make it to the conference at all. The webcasts are also useful for Lunch and Learn sessions. You can book a conference room, and get together with a number of colleagues at lunch to watch the sessions over a period of several weeks. This has the added benefit of stimulating some interesting conversations and creating a sense of teamwork.
