PDA BioManufacturing Conference 2024

Shaping the Future of Biomanufacturing

24 Sep - 25 Sep 2024
Gothenburg, Sweden

Become a Sponsor and/or Exhibitor

Dear Colleagues,

As global health challenges like infectious diseases and cancer evolve, the pharmaceutical biomanufacturing sector continues to innovate and adapt. This industry's advancements attract significant interest from investors, regulators, and other stakeholders, underscoring the importance of staying informed about the latest developments.

Join us in Gothenburg, Sweden, on 24-25 September 2024, for a two-track, face-to-face conference.

The event will explore new technologies including the application of AI, digital twins, development approaches, CMC strategies, and regulatory frameworks, supporting rapid access to vaccines and biotherapeutics from upstream processes to final filling and lyophilization.

The PDA Biomanufacturing Conference 2024, themed "Shaping the Future of Biomanufacturing", is the ideal venue for exploring these innovations. Now in its sixth year, this event offers a comprehensive program focused on emerging trends, regulatory areas, and key technologies.

We are kicking off this year’s conference with a keynote presentation from a patient perspective and we will continue the discussion on addressing patient needs and offer unique networking opportunities with industry professionals, academics, and regulatory representatives from organizations like the U.S. FDA, MHRA, Medical Products Agency Sweden, Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, EDQM, and CEPI.

Session highlights will feature case studies, expert views on biopharmaceutical innovations, advanced modeling, manufacturing capacity, and sustainability as well as special attention will be given to new regulatory strategies for sustainability reporting.

Another reason to join is the two sessions from our PDA Interest Groups, including Lyophilization IG and Advanced Manufacturing, and Applied Process Digitalization IG, showcasing the latest advancements in these areas.

Check out the agenda which is intended to initiate and support discussion and professional exchange through the diversity of scientific presentations. Meet exhibitors, listen to poster sessions, and enjoy the networking opportunities.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Gothenburg.

Sincerely,

The Co-Chairs
