The CMA Annual Conference has secured its reputation as the primary event in the complementary medicines industry calendar.
The program synopsis for this year's event is 'Business as Unusual'. With lock-downs and social distancing, COVID-19 has affected every Australian.
Our sector continues to work together to adapt to a new normal. Our industry pivoted to help meet the challenges of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Some manufacturers re-tooled to provide hospital grade sanitisers, hand wash and other personal protective equipment.
This has led to the Government recognising complementary medicines as one of the high value-add groups identified for growth opportunities with the National Manufacturing Priority Roadmap.
The Complementary medicines industry has been one of the quiet achievers of the Australian economy – growing at around 1.5% annually, directly generating over $5.69 billion in economic activity in FY20 and employing over 30,000 Australian jobs across the therapeutic goods sector.
Over 150 delegates from the Complementary Medicines Industry supply chain are expected to attend the conference this year, making it a vital opportunity for networking and business development, as well as an informative event to engage you and develop your knowledge and skills.
