It is indeed my honor to work for CCK in organizing the forum that generates knowledge and to be here as a first
speaker of todays’ Discussion on “Routine Decisions that have Direct Impact on Product Performance and
are Hard to Detect”. Discussion on Slides. You all are well aware that CCK is blessed to contribute in
development of society particularly in the field of Pharmaceutical Quality & Regulatory Sciences by organizing
knowledge sharing exercise and provoking debate and discussion among pharmaceutical experienced
professionals who have different backgrounds such as engineering, pharmacy, chemistry, microbiology,
biotechnology, etc. Let me allow to share that the speed and pace on which global world is running is so fast and
every passing time is increasing gulf of knowledge between others and Pakistan in terms of innovation,
technology and emerging scientific tools of regulations. Discussion on Slides. So, lets move. It is also the
occasion to feel fresh air and some pride that there is no such large gathering representing each leading
pharmaceutical manufacturing company having background education from top ranking academic institutions of
the country meet together on Sunday for nothing but generating knowledge to make Pakistan worthy. Its total free
registration, part time hobby, paper free Google application based actions without noise that make it unmatched
all over the world. If anyone has example of such activity in any part of the world, just share with us or on our
CCK page. I assure you it is you people, your greatness that makes a difference. We are touching our 50th
program
including small gatherings of less than 100 participants and larger gatherings of more than 200 participants. In this
way, we have completed one day discussion of about 5000 people and every time experienced 20 to 30% new
participation. We are here and look forward for a great day of learning and meeting you in person as much as
possible. Don’t miss the opportunity to ask question. Interact with each other and learn how to generate
knowledge with difference of opinion and how to respect science and integrity. I am excited and glad to open our
9th
large gathering with great appreciation conclusively for you, for your sacrifice of Sunday. Wish you a very
good luck.
