This year's topics:

Bio-Sample Management – Best Practices, Challenges and Experiences
Session Chair: Darren Rimmer (GlaxoSmithKline)
As Drug Discovery continues its trend with launching new medicines of a biological nature, our compound management society is pivoting with the handling of Biological Samples in addition to the traditional management of Small Molecules. These talks will share experiences of best practices, challenges and success stories in this space.

Compound Management's Added Value
Chair: Olivier Casamitjana (Evotec)
The main objective of this session is to present concrete examples of how compound management adds value to scientific project plans. Examples will include the inclusion of specific workflows, equipment (innovation), additional resources and expertise, or adapting timelines to improve a scientific project overall.

Physical Lab Moves: Challenges and Best Practices
Chair: Kelli Wilson (NIH) 
Moving is always stressful but movement of a scientific laboratory and associated samples can pose additional challenges. Come hear from the community on how to complete large scale sample and equipment moves to resume operations quickly.

Innovation and Change Management
