Attendees will gain insight from exciting technical presentations, case studies, and panel discussions from industry and regulatory leaders involved in the planning, building, and approving of facilities of the future.
I have been a part of the ISPE Facilities of the Future conference planning committee since 2019 and I’m very excited about our upcoming conference in January 2025. In fact, every one of the programs that I have participated in has helped me grow and develop my knowledge and understanding of the pharmaceutical industry. The program features powerful keynote messages delivered by industry executives, as well as multiple technical sessions on technologies and trends that are shaping our industry, and an executive forum dinner and panel discussion that has always been lively and powerful. And to top all of that off, the opportunities to grow and build your network are abundant.
During networking breaks, the expo hall (sometimes called the innovation hall) also provides great opportunities to talk with industry professionals who are making our industry more efficient, productive, and sustainable. You will see and hear some great ideas by interacting with the exhibitors.
If you attend the executive forum dinner, you will hear from industry experts in a panel discussion hosted by one of our conference committee executives. These discussions, which also allow for audience questions, have been extremely engaging, insightful, and inspiring events. I don’t think you’ll want to miss this opportunity.
Our conference brings together pharmaceutical industry stakeholders who are involved with planning, designing, constructing, manufacturing, supplying, and assessing innovative next-generation facilities and related pharmaceutical engineering innovations, processes, and practices. You’ll see and experience the latest advancements in manufacturing and cutting-edge digital advancements, sustainability initiatives in new and legacy facilities, and strategies for cultivating the workforce of the future.
This year’s agenda includes:
- Innovative next-generation facilities: Engage with experts on the latest in planning, designing, and constructing cutting-edge pharmaceutical facilities. Learn about new practices and processes that are setting industry benchmarks
- Manufacturing and digital advancements: Discover the latest developments in manufacturing technologies and digital innovations driving progress in the field of pharmaceutical manufacturing. Join sessions on artificial intelligence, including its transformative applications and the use of Digital Twins to enhance manufacturing processes
- Sustainability initiatives: Explore strategies for incorporating sustainability into both new and existing facilities. Gain insights on how to effectively integrate environmentally friendly practices into your facility operations
- Transforming existing facilities: Examine trends and methods for modernizing existing facilities, including laboratories and warehouses. Learn how to address associated challenges and regulatory considerations
