Collaborate and Innovate at the 2021 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo
What a year to be agile for collaboration and innovation! Our industry has been driving unprecedented success for patients this year, which is fitting for the 2021 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo theme, “Agility. Collaboration. Innovation.”
COVID-19 brought significant challenges to the world. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry responded by developing novel ways to develop, manufacture and distribute new treatments and vaccines that set a new standard of collaboration within the industry. The pandemic also highlighted areas of opportunity for the industry to provide better and faster outcomes for patients by focusing on both global and local needs and resources. Our keynote speakers will address these paradigm changes regarding how the industry responded and the potential outcomes moving forward.
The 2021 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo will be in a hybrid format, held as an in-person meeting but also providing the option of remote participation.
