ISPE Returns to In-Person Events with Three Signature Conferences in Fall 2021

23 June, 2021

It is with great pleasure that ISPE announces the return to hosting in-person events this fall with three signature conferences: 2021 ISPE Facilities of the Future Conference, 2021 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo, and 2021 ISPE Pharma 4.0™ and Annex 1 Conference.

These conferences will occur in a hybrid format, including in-person and virtual options to allow for global participation.

Our Members and industry have welcomed the chance to continue learning and networking at virtual events during the pandemic. Now, with conditions improving, we are pleased to bring together leading experts, regulators, and exhibitors for these hybrid events for the invaluable face-to-face interactions we have all been missing, and to continue reaching people not yet able to travel.


ISPE is committed to adhering to the local and state authorities’ COVID guidelines and restrictions. New and robust risk mitigation measures are being undertaken to ensure the safety of ISPE’s in-person events.
