We live in an increasingly outsourced world, where innovation is springing from all corners of the pharmaceutical manufacturing community, including pharma owners, consultants, contract manufacturers, solution-providing suppliers of packaged equipment and systems.

This event is sponsored by ISPE’s Suppliers Advisory Council whose charter is to advise ISPE leadership on ways to accelerate the contribution and impact of ISPE’s supplier members.

This session gathers leaders from the manufacturing community for dialogue, and to take full advantage of innovation.

The session will address opportunities and barriers currently faced where commercial, risk management and regulatory realities threaten a stable and sustainable business climate. This session will encourage open dialogue and identify issues for group discussion.

How You Will Benefit

  • Identify trends and opportunities
  • Better appreciate current issues and obstacles to knowledge/innovation transfer, procurement practices, intellectual property issues and risk sharing
  • Recognize opportunities to partner with suppliers as case studies present examples of cost reduction, improved flexibility and quality, and shared management of risk

Who Should Attend

This session will be of significant interest to global manufacturers, emerging producers, mid-cap operators, consulting firms, architects, planners, design engineers, validators, and construction contractors. It will also be relevant to vendors/suppliers of integrated solutions for manufacturing, especially GMP pharma processing, packaging and finishing operations, as well as contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs). Senior operations management, facilities management, planning, designing, building, validating new and renovated facilities, owners, operators and maintainers of GMP facilities, specifiers, assemblers, and vendors/ integrators of complex, pharma processing equipment and systems will find this session invaluable. Professional business planners, project developers and strategic marketers will enjoy the visioning and future-oriented discussion directed towards identifying trends and opportunities.
