2 THE THIRD ANNUAL FULL LIFE CYCLE SWITCH EVENT RX -TO- OTC SWITCH SUMMIT Dear Colleague, Since 2013, there have been six successful Rx-to-OTC switches and a plethora of highprofile switch failures and disappointing results.

The 3rd Rx-to-OTC Switch Summit is the most advanced thought leadership event experts can attend to discuss all aspects of a switch, from the NDA process to the final over-the-counter product. Our speaking faculty, representing Bayer, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Sanofi, Galderma and many other organizations, will help you to: VENUE Grasp the fundamentals of the switch process Review successful case studies and strategies Innovate with OTC packaging and label writing Stay up to date with regulatory challenges and initiatives Brainstorm new marketing and branding strategies I look forward to welcoming you to Philadelphia this December!
