2012 ISPE Annual Meeting to Reflect
Association’s New Strategic Plan
(TAMPA, FLORIDA, USA, 11 October 2012) – The 2012 ISPE Annual Meeting will feature an all-new education
program and new enhancements that are reflective of the organization’s new strategic plan, which emphasizes
interaction and cooperation between pharmaceutical industry leaders and regulatory authorities, increased
emphasis on product quality and patient safety and a focus on the entire product lifecycle. The four-day
meeting will take place 11 – 14 November in San Francisco, Calif. USA.
“ISPE has made it a priority to expand our overall educational offerings to include more regulatory and
strategic discussions as part of our transition to an approach that considers the entire product lifecycle,”
said ISPE President and CEO Nancy Berg. “This year’s Annual Meeting education program reflects that, and as a
result, we are seeing record-setting global registrations. This year’s meeting will be a brand-new experience
for our Members and the industry professionals and regulators who attend.”
Among the elevated offerings at this year’s Annual Meeting are a plenary session with presentations from
the FDA’s Dr. Stephen Spielberg and the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics’ Murray Aitken, an Executive
Series and an International Regulatory Summit. Many education sessions, including those in the Executive
Series, are expected to fill to capacity in the coming weeks.
The enhanced education program and International Regulatory Summit at the 2012 ISPE Annual Meeting are
also drawing a record number of regulators as both speakers and attendees. In addition to Dr. Stephen
Speilberg, confirmed regulators from the US FDA to-date include Jeffrey Baker, Ilisa Bernstein, Rick
Friedman, Bogdan Kurtyka, Steve Lynn, Christina Moore, Yingxu Ping and Lawrence Yu. Other confirmed
regulators include Mark Birse (MHRA), Joyce N. Cirunay (FDA Philippines), Dr. Rodolfo Mocchetto (ANMAT), Song
Shufen and Liu Yuan (CCD, SFDA), among others.
ISPE has released a new video to highlight the program
enhancements delegates will see at this year’s meeting. Additional information, including complete program,
speaker, and registration information, is available on the 2012 ISPE Annual Meeting website.
