Reed Exhibitions is partnering with the ISPE — the world's largest not-for-profit society serving pharmaceutical manufacturing professionals — to create Interphex Canada. In creating a meeting place for Canadian life science companies engaged in the core pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, Interphex Canada will offer the largest gathering of life science manufacturing professionals in Canada. The conference and exhibition will debut September 24-25 2008, in Montreal, Quebec at the Palais des Congres de Montreal.

The Canadian event joins eight other Interphex events that are produced around the world by Reed Exhibitions, in USA, Puerto Rico, Mexico, UK, India, China, Singapore and Japan. ISPE is a major sponsor and supporter of these global events.

"Canada is the 8th largest pharmaceutical market in the world and the 4th fastest growing market after China, Mexico and Spain. Producing an event in Montreal provides a great opportunity for our global customers and the Canadian market," says Kevin Richards, Group Vice-President and VP of International Brand Development. "The support of ISPE and the ISPE Central Canada Chapter will provide the event with a top-notch education program and the local support needed for a successful event in Canada."

Exhibition
More than 100 exhibitors will converge to showcase a range of state-of-the-art biopharmaceutical manufacturing solutions, while the conference programme, developed by ISPE Central Canada Chapter, will feature four tracks on Regulatory & Compliance, Facilities & Engineering, Clean Utilities, and Operations. More than 15 comprehensive lectures will help life science professionals acquire valuable knowledge that will help their organizations gain a competitive edge. In addition to a robust conference, the event will also feature daily keynote address presentations to be delivered by government and industry leaders.
