ISPE announced experts from leading pharmaceutical manufacturing organizations and agencies, including BioNTech, Catalent Pharma Solutions, CDER/FDA, Gilead Sciences, Inc., Merck, Nephron Pharmaceuticals, and The White House, will convene for the 2022 ISPE Facilities of the Future Conference. Taking place on 1–2 February in North Bethesda, Maryland, leaders will share insights and lead panel discussions on the impact of COVID-19 and applications of future manufacturing operations and the facilities required to produce products that are safe, cost-effective, and meet the needs of patients.
Speed to market is often a primary consideration for most innovative products in the pharmaceutical portfolios for most companies, and the pandemic has placed additional emphasis on speed to market. Therefore, facility design, flexibility, and project execution approaches that enable speed to market while following regulatory standards will be explored.
“This unique global forum brings together industry leaders, experts and peers to share how they collaborated during a global crisis—something that had been very uncommon prior to the COVID era,” said Jeffrey Biskup, PE, CEO and Chairman of the Board, CRB, and Chair of the 2022 ISPE Facilities of the Future Conference. “Speakers will share examples of corporate collaborations, lessons learned, and how COVID motivated relationship changes in pharmaceutical manufacturing of the future. This event is a great opportunity to hear these companies tell their stories, share learnings and describe how relationships with competitors and peers have changed long term.”
