LogiPharma USA 2025: Dave Malenfant's Sneak Peek

At the 20th anniversary of LogiPharma USA, Dave Malenfant reflected on the event’s growth and its pivotal role in shaping discussions across the pharmaceutical supply chain. With over 700 attendees and standing-room-only master classes, Malenfant emphasized the strong industry engagement and the event’s ability to attract professionals from diverse company sizes and both clinical and commercial supply chain functions.

Looking back over two decades, Malenfant pointed out how the industry and the conference itself have evolved. In the early years, the sector was heavily male dominated, but today, greater female representation is evident across attendees and leadership roles. He credited Logipharma for broadening its reach and relevance, adapting to trends, and becoming, in his view, the premier global conference for pharmaceutical supply chain leaders.

For Malenfant, the continued growth of Logipharma is a testament to its ability to remain timely and relevant, bringing together a community that is both tackling current challenges and preparing for future transformations in supply chain management.

A transcript of Malenfant’s conversation with Pharmaceutical Commerce (PC) can be found below.

PC: You have quite a busy slate here at LogiPharma. Could you offer up a sneak peek of what to expect?

Malenfant: I'm amazed of how many people we've got here. It's over 700 and I know I've been doing these master classes now at LogiPharma and LogiMed for years, and yesterday, my master class was standing room only, which is really encouraging, and it's exciting as well, that that we're having so many people from the industry coming together. I've got the pleasure of managing a track, being the chair of a track which is on people, which is my passion, because, if you notice, the agenda is very heavy, on a lot of technology. And so I have the opportunity of facilitating the track that's going to be on people. We're going to talk about diversity, inclusion and equity. The panelists on that on are very, very well versed in it. We're going to also talk about trade compliance. That's a real hot subject right now, but not enough time to cover everything that needs to come into it. So, it's an exciting event. I'm really, really pleased, especially for the 20th anniversary.
