Need a better way to manage your speaker programs?

Pharma teams are constantly slowed down by a mountain of administrative and tactical work targeting different stakeholders without a singular tool for getting it done efficiently.

And without a centralized management system, teams struggle to track the effectiveness of their speakers, the educational messages they’re delivering and the success of their speaker programs.

Common speaker program challenges:

Disparate tools and processes make scheduling, speaker training, event planning, logistics and expense management time-consuming.
Teams struggle to gauge the success of their speakers—and by extension, the effectiveness of their programs.
Every management motion is manual work, which is inefficient and not measurable.

Whether you’re planning a live, hybrid or virtual speaker program, ExtendMed can organize the logistics of your promotional education programs and measure their effectiveness.

ExtendMed partners with pharmaceutical, biotech and medical communications companies to manage their speaker programs all at a fraction of the cost of a typical management workflow.

Graduate from siloed spreadsheets and calendar events, and centralize logistics management among your team, saving time while enhancing the quality of your speaker programs.

We don’t just build technology solutions—ExtendMed has years of experience working with pharmaceutical industry partners to provide you with recommendations that lower costs and improve efficiencies across your live, hybrid and virtual speaker programs. Partner with us when you’re ready to take your speaker programs to the next level.

ExtendMed gave me wonderful support once again. It is so great to have such an experienced partner conducting our speaker programs. Amy reached out before the program for any needs, during the program to make sure everything was going well, and after the program to make it easy for me to close out the paperwork.”
