The vision for Pharma EXPO is to be the world's leading event for the pharmaceutical and medical industries. In addition to the exhibits portion of the event, which is designed to meet the needs of the manufacturers and suppliers, ISPE will produce a world-class conference program, scheduled to take place during the show. Attendees will have an opportunity to see cutting-edge technology in packaging and processing and attend conference programs that address common challenges in the pharmaceutical lifecycle. 

"Pharma EXPO is part of our strategy to make it more efficient for attendees to find the technologies they need," says Charles Yuska, president/CEO of PMMI. "By partnering with ISPE, which is over 20,000 members strong, with a very robust knowledge and learning program, we can combine the best aspects of PACK EXPO with deep industry knowledge and insight to deliver a first-class event for the industry." 

"At our core, ISPE is about preparing our members to lead global change and innovation in pharmaceutical manufacturing sciences and technology," says Nancy Berg, president/CEO of ISPE. "This venture event will provide a new vehicle to achieve that goal and provide members with a unique opportunity to be inspired by ideas and technologies developed for other industries." 

PACK EXPO has had a strong presence in pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing. Historically, upwards of 18 percent of end-users who attend PACK EXPO have identified themselves as pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, while one-third of all the exhibitors at PACK EXPO are suppliers to the pharmaceutical industry. 

The co-located PACK EXPO Intl. and Pharma EXPO are expected to attract 48,000 attendees, 2,000 exhibiting companies and more than 1.1 million net square feet of exhibit space in 2014. Additional information about the new show will be released in the coming months.
