PHARMA EXPO
New pharmaceutical processing and packaging
event to co‐locate with PACK EXPO International
2014
Reston, Va.; May 13, 2013 — PMMI, owner and
producer of the PACK EXPO trade shows, and the
International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering
(ISPE) announce the debut of Pharma EXPO, a new
event designed to connect pharmaceutical, medical
device and nutraceutical manufacturers with the
packaging, processing and other supply chain
technologies they need to meet rigorous industry
regulations and grow business. The event will debut in
2014 and co‐locate with PACK EXPO International
(November 2‐5, 2014; McCormick Place, Chicago).
The vision for Pharma EXPO is to be the world’s
leading event for the pharmaceutical and medical
industries. In addition to the exhibits portion of the
event, which is designed to meet the needs of the
manufacturers and suppliers, ISPE will produce a
world‐class conference program, scheduled to take
place during the show. Attendees will have an
opportunity to see cutting‐edge technology in
packaging and processing and attend conference
programs that address common challenges in the
pharmaceutical lifecycle.
“Pharma EXPO is part of our strategy to make it more
efficient for attendees to find the technologies they
need,” says Charles D. Yuska, president and CEO of
PMMI. “By partnering with ISPE, which is over
20,000 members strong, with a very robust knowledge
and learning program, we can combine the best aspects
of PACK EXPO with deep industry knowledge and
insight to deliver a first‐class event for the industry.”

“At our core, ISPE is about preparing our members to
lead global change and innovation in pharmaceutical
manufacturing sciences and technology,” says Nancy
Berg, president and CEO of ISPE. “This venture event
will provide a new vehicle to achieve that goal and
provide members with a unique opportunity to be
PACK EXPO has always had a strong presence in
pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing.
Historically, upwards of 18 percent of end‐users who
attend PACK EXPO have identified themselves as
pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers,
while one‐third of all the exhibitors at PACK EXPO
are suppliers to the pharmaceutical industry. The
partnership of ISPE, the world leader in
pharmaceutical engineering and manufacturing, and
PMMI, the world leader in packaging and processing,
will make Pharma EXPO a leading pharmaceutical
industry event. The show will offer the attendees what
they want most — exposure to the latest technologies,
the opportunity to attend a full range of education
sessions, as well as networking with industry
professionals.
The co‐located PACK EXPO International and Pharma
EXPO are expected to attract 48,000 attendees, 2,000
exhibiting companies and over 1.1 million net square
feet of exhibit space in 2014. Additional information
about the new show will be released in the coming
months.
