Monday through Wednesday
The office water cooler is more than just a place to get a drink. It's a gathering place where colleagues take a break to enjoy friendly conversation. It's a forum where thoughts and ideas are exchanged. It's a social hub where people find out what's really going on in the office.
Brought back by popular demand, PharmaSUG Water Cooler Chats bring this spirit of informal discussion into the conference environment. Facilitated group discussions on a variety of topics will be scheduled for specific times during the conference. All you have to do is show up and join the conversation. We'll provide the virtual water cooler and get the dialog going - the rest is up to you!
The schedule of topics and facilitators is below. If you have questions, please contact our Water Cooler Chat Coordinators, Amber Randall and Kirsty Lauderdale, at This email address is being protected from spambots.
