IFPAC 2010 will cover critical and influential topics bringing academia, industry, and government together to share up-to-date knowledge and solutions. Our three day intensive program will feature a high profile plenary covering challenges and sustainability impacting our industry and business today. This will be followed by forward-looking tracks with over 20 sessions covering the latest trends and technology on innovative research and progress. This year at IFPAC:

  • The QbD track is back with new and cutting edge information
  • Presentations on innovative research and progress in areas such as design space, Real Time Release, PAT and Process Control, strategies in pharmaceutical manufacturing, pharmaceutical imaging, bio-processing, chemometrics, biotechnology, spectroscopy, nanotechnology, separations and data management
  • New sessions on food safety and analysis, continuous processes, and modelling
  • Expert speakers, ground-breaking case studies, group discussions, networking receptions, and expanded poster session
  • A comprehensive exhibition of Process Analytical Technology equipment and services
  • Special workshops/training opportunities.

IFPAC® is an interactive event that attracts professionals from all levels of management and expertise at an international scale. It’s an opportunity to see and be seen by old and new colleagues.
