Perhaps there is a particular subject, person, or presentation that you think would be of general interest, we welcome your suggestions and value this input.
Biotech – Large Molecule, Cell & Gene – ATMPs
Learn MoreThe biotech sector, including cell and gene therapies (ATMP), has been the fastest growing market in the pharmaceutical industry for years and this is not expected to change in the next few decades. In addition to products already on the market and new products in development, the market will additionally grow in Biosimilars, Bio Better Products, Combined Products such as Antibody Drug Conjugates as well as in Cell and Gene and Tissue Engineering. We are seeking case studies focusing on Biotech – Large Molecules, Cell & Gene - ATMPs.
The case studies should include EU and international regulatory aspects.
Operational Readiness and Cultural Excellence
Learn MoreIn today's fast-changing world, companies face the challenge of staying up to date with new technologies while ensuring their teams have the right skills to effectively maintain operations. Being flexible across all areas of a business is key to driving innovation. The same principle applies to learning and workforce advancement.
This track focuses on the following:
Regulatory Trends
Learn MoreWe request submissions related to pharma industry regulation. Presentations may include case studies linked to implementation of GMP documents or regulatory initiatives regarding risks for the patients. Proposals may focus on one or multiple of these subjects:
Digital Transformation and Innovative Technologies
Learn MoreWe are pleased to invite proposals for presentations, workshops, and panel discussions focused on Digital Transformation and Innovative Technologies in the pharmaceutical industry. These sessions will explore the latest advancements, case studies, and applications in areas such as the following:
Good Engineering Practice and Efficient Investment Management
Learn MoreEvery day there are new needs and new ideas to transform and grow the pharma industry. Sooner than later, they will become a project. The success of the project will open the door to becoming a reality. The key to opening the door is Good Engineering and Efficient Project Management. As time goes by, there is a very strong demand for faster and efficient project delivery. The term “fast track” seems obsolete. Standardization, modularization, BIM, agile project delivery, efficient investment management, etc. are no longer concepts but are needs and a reality. We are seeking proposals on Good Engineering Practice and Efficient Investment Management. This will be the space to learn from today’s engineering design trends, new digitalized engineering tools, project management, and construction management on real case studies that are shaping today’s project delivery landscape. Topics to cover include:
The goal is to offer interactive sessions and provide the audience with the opportunity to ask questions and contribute to an open and relaxed atmosphere away from day-to-day project work.
Innovation in Business Processes
Learn MorePatients and industry have been confronted with the following main problems for years. All three problem areas are interrelated and can influence each other. In this track, innovations in technical and related business processes are presented in cause-and-effect chains to show how these problems can be effectively addressed.
Sustainability
Learn MoreSustainability is critical for the pharmaceutical industry. Europe is developing directives to improve sustainability of facilities and products. The ECHA plans restriction or bans for PFAS. The pharmaceutical industry is implementing initiatives for sustainable facilities and carbon footprint reductions, and some Member States and European countries have already implemented sustainable objectives in their regulation.
We are seeking proposals highlighting industry sharing initiatives, and managing sustainability for processes, building, and manufacturing facilities. Topics may include:
Manufacturing Facility Lifecycle: Progress, Trends, and Challenges
Learn MoreCurrent Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) exist for a sole reason: to protect the quality and integrity of the final drug product and inevitably ensure patient safety. This purpose will never change; however, the driver for continuous improvement to uphold product quality will continue to progress.
Join us for an engaging track in exploring the key drivers behind the lifecycle of biomanufacturing facility design from the lens of progress, trends, and challenges. These factors collectively influence the design, operation, and evolution of biomanufacturing facilities, ensuring they can meet current and future production needs while maintaining high standards of quality and efficiency.
