2022 ISPE Pharma 4.0™ and Annex 1 Conference

Welcome To The Industry’s Leading Pharma Contract Manufacturing Event. Pharma Contract Manufacturing is the only event to focus specifically on how to improve CMO selection and partnering. We appreciate the critical role these play in delivering success for both patients and the organisation-at-large. We also appreciate that the bedrock of these relationships is collaboration from both sides, which is why we bring together leading pharmaceutical companies and CMOs to benchmark best practice in this area. Selecting the right CMO partner is the critical decision in getting high-quality products to patients. If this relationship fails, we fail. Our companies and patients can’t afford for us to get this decision wrong. That’s why Pharma IQ is bringing together partners from across the industry to collaborate on how we make these relationships work both now and in the future. Because for the patient to succeed, we need to succeed.

The world’s leading cross-functional event for pharma changemakers Pharma’s role within the healthcare system is weakening. Increased demand, economic strains, suffocating regulatory change and a widening access gap is impacting future pipelines and commercial innovations reaching patients. Siloed functions too often compete with each other instead of complement each other, failing to rally behind a common purpose. Internal forces need to come together to secure a future where better medicines support a value proposition that resonates with our patients, payers, policy makers, HTAs and customers. No one function can do this alone, we must act as one. That’s why over 1,200 of the world's leading pharma changemakers from commercial, marketing, medical affairs, patient engagement, market access, RWE, and digital health are gathering under one roof in Barcelona at Reuters Events: Pharma 2024. We will draw up a new blueprint to bridge and align internal workforces while rewriting pharma’s value proposition, cementing its role as an integral pillar of the healthcare system. At this event, together, we will become the trusted source for scientific information, transform digital potential into meaningful patient outcomes, adapt to the incoming JCA legislation and harness growing data sources that will deliver value to customers and growing patient population needs.

The SmartLab Exchange brings together a select group of leading experts from across the smart laboratory space for innovative learning and thought-leadership discussions. This group of R&D/R&D IT, Manufacturing, and QA/QC experts will deliver a number of insightful sessions through inspiring keynotes, in-depth case studies and fireside chats, interactive panels, and intimate roundtables across two-days. In between the exclusive content sessions you will have limitless networking opportunities during peer-to-peer networking and coffee breaks in addition to two drinks receptions. Alongside this our consultative one-to-one business meetings between attendees and solution providers will be carefully scheduled throughout the two-days to meet your specific business needs.

In the constantly evolving field of pharmaceutical manufacturing, the imperative to embrace new technologies and innovative strategies for process control and efficiency is more pressing than ever before. Recent advancements in aseptic processing, such as advanced isolators, robotics, and increased automation, have transformed the industry whilst simultaneously reducing the risks of contamination for sterile products. However, modern therapies - innovative, targeted treatments that result in small-batch aseptic products - require faster speeds to market and present unique sterilization and handling challenges. This dichotomy presents unique challenges for the industry to address. Moreover, the updated Annex 1 is impacting the manufacturing of sterile products, necessitating updated requirements such as Quality Risk Management, Contamination Control Strategy, and Data Management and Compliance for Computerized Systems. In light of these urgent needs, the 2024 ISPE Aseptic Conference will provide an ideal opportunity for participants to share progress, success stories, best practices, and lessons learned. Get ahead of the game with a focus on novel therapies, emerging technologies, and aseptic processing. We look forward to seeing you in Vienna, Austria!
