Partnering for Cures is a platform for big ideas, transformative programs, and tangible results brought forth by some of the most disruptive innovators. Each year, a kinetic energy permeates this meeting as participants are bound by a shared sense of urgency and a drive toward solutions. We measure the impact of this conference by the progress each of you can make—whether it’s finding vital new partners or garnering the latest intel on innovative programs or leaving with new vantage points to approach a problem. We’ve designed the program to do just that: • 16 dynamic panel discussions will tackle issues that are key to advancing medical progress. From big science to big data to big systems, the issues at hand are immense. With more than 80 panelists focused on collaborative solutions that are forward thinking and pragmatic, we know that you will leave with great optimism and practical strategies. • 30 innovators will be presenting their cross-sector programs—chosen after the most competitive application cycle to date. From novel financing models to adaptive clinical trial designs to data sharing initiatives, these programs provide all of us with a first-person account of the innovation that is underway. Take the time to review these programs—their transformative nature is sure to have ripple effects for years to come. • P4C Connect, our easy-to-use partnering system, is yours to utilize and leverage. You can schedule one-on-one meetings to advance your own research and development goals. This system allows participants—from innovators to investors, scientists to philanthropists, federal officials to advocates, to find each other and get things done. Through this system, you can also request private pro-bono consulting sessions with dozens of leading experts ready to give advice on topics including attracting capital, collaboration structuring, and regulatory and reimbursement strategy. • Time Equals Lives Talks—the latest addition to the program will feature remarkable speakers with incredible stories to tell about what drives them to continue to pave the path toward solutions— sometimes against many odds. Each 10-minute story will bring to life the compelling personal factors that come to play in the search for cures. • Numerous opportunities for productive collisions. Starting with breakfast roundtables focused on therapeutic affinity areas or research tools, networking opportunities throughout, and a late night gathering that will entertain and inspire you. • The P4C Lounge—be sure to stop by and check out the photo booth, add your thoughts to the “big picture,” and take advantage of areas for networking! We so appreciate your carving out time to join us. We know you will find these two days a productive and meaningful use of your time. Enjoy the meeting! Sincerely, Margaret Anderson Michael L. Klowden Executive Director CEO FasterCures Milken Institute T HE C ITY OF N EW Y ORK O FFICE OF THE M AYOR N EW Y ORK, NY 10007 November 3, 2013 Dear Friends: It is a pleasure to welcome everyone to New York City as the Milken Institute’s FasterCures center convenes the fifth annual Partnering for Cures meeting. New York really is the perfect place to host this event. Our city has a wealth of individual and institutional medical talent. We are also increasingly becoming a capital of the commercial life sciences, thanks in part to the ready access to venture capital that entrepreneurs have here. Earlier this fall, we celebrated the opening of the New York Genome Center, to which our Administration contributed $5 million in financing. These kinds of targeted investments are key to bringing new products and procedures to the market, and together – during this, the era of healthcare reform and innovation – we can expect Partnering for Cures to further advance the efforts of medical researchers from across the metropolitan area and beyond. On behalf of our great city, I offer my best wishes for a productive meeting and continued success in your vitally important work. Sincerely, Michael R.
