PDA Annual Meeting 2012

The 2012 PDA Annual Meeting is the one meeting each year dedicated to advancing the careers of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical professionals by focusing program content on science and technology innovation as well as optimized performance, offering extensive formal and informal networking opportunities and providing a forum to contribute to and influence the advancement of science and regulation in the industry.

The 2012 PDA Annual Meeting's theme is Manufacturing Innovation: Achieving Excellence in Sterile and Emerging Biopharmaceutical Technology. The manufacturing of quality products is a keystone of our industry. With the emergence of new technologies, our program will feature a one day track on personalized medicine focusing on challenges in manufacturing and quality assurance/quality control of these products. The program will also feature sterile biopharmaceutical manufacturing with a focus on manufacturing innovations and new technologies, as well as regulatory perspectives on biopharmaceuticals. Properly planned and performed process design, development, validation, sourcing, process control, contamination control, testing, handling, product and supply chain security, distribution, and manufacturing all drive product quality and essentially positive business results. Use of innovation and new technologies helps to ensure success of these processes. This conference will bring together experts from academia, industry and regulatory agencies from around the world to discuss current practices and opportunities in sterile and emerging biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
