CPhI North America to Expand Presence and Focus in 2018

December 14, 2017

CPhI North America, the only event to bring the complete North American pharma supply chain together, today announced the opening of 2018 event registration. CPhI North America will take place April 24-26, 2018 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia.

It will feature an expanded show footprint ideal for networking, sourcing, education and innovation in drug development and manufacturing.

Two new zones including a Bioprocessing Zone and the P-MEC Zone, a machinery zone to promote the latest technology in manufacturing equipment, will join legacy zones, InformEx, iCSE, FDF, InnoPack and CPhI.

Attendance at the event is expected to surpass 2017 levels, which attracted more than 7,400 pharmaceutical industry professionals and thought leaders and more than 630 exhibitors.

Attendees are urged to register and secure booth space early. Registration for CPhI North America is now open at: www.CPhINorthAmerica.com/register.

"The event's inaugural success underscores the connective power of CPhI," said Joseph Marks, Brand Director for CPhI North America.

He added, "The US pharmaceutical and fine chemical industry is dynamic, and filled with regulatory and legislative uncertainties. CPhI North America provides show-goers an engaging and focused environment, helping them overcome today's hurdles while also preparing for the challenges of tomorrow."

The exhibitor floor has strategically been designed to include the following seven zones:

  • NEW! Bioprocessing: Bioprocessing zone will provide greater access and pathway to opportunities in the next generation of pharmaceuticals.
