PMMI AND ISPE PARTNER TO LAUNCH 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
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.
Learn more about PMMI and the PACK EXPO trade shows
at PMMI.org and Packexpo.com.
The International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) is an international society consisting of over 22,000
members in 90 countries. ISPE facilitates venues for networking, interaction, and information sharing within the region
and provides publications, conferences, and trainings on a wide variety of topics from Good Engineering Practices to
Quality Risk Management. Our membership constituency is made up of professionals from the biotechnology,
