Plan to join our diverse and exciting pharma and biopharma community at the ISPE Canada Affiliate’s Education and Product Symposium (EPS) on May 06 – 07, 2024 at the Marriott in downtown Toronto.
Why participate? You will have access to a variety of educational sessions addressing relevant manufacturing challenges, delicious food throughout the event, product show access including a chance to win great prizes, networking opportunities, and lots of fun!
The theme of the EPS 2024 is Age of Transformation: Innovative Solutions to Proactive Changes in the Canadian Pharma and Biopharma Industry.
Biopharmaceutical and Pharmaceutical industries are undergoing dramatic changes that will affect the design and operation of facilities. A rapidly changing market environment has also affected CMO and CDMO operations, where customer demands increasingly require the manufacture of drugs in smaller volumes. We believe that a multidisciplinary approach is essential for designing an end-to-end program that addresses all operations from the selection of raw materials through to the distribution of final products.
Ensuring product quality and supply chain safety and improving manufacturing efficiency are key initiatives for ISPE while always putting the patient first. Our industry makes products that are life-changing and life-sustaining, and impact hundreds of millions of people worldwide.
