General Event Information
The line between medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and biologics is becoming a blur with evolving technology and the combination of pharmaceutical components with medical devices. The “combination products market” is estimated at $5.9B in 2004, and it is expected to grow upwards of 14% per year through 2010. Combination products often present complex challenges in design, regulatory approval, testing, manufacturing, labeling, and packaging. This timely event will focus on this growing trend of convergence in the healthcare sector, providing professionals with a unique opportunity for cross-sector collaborations.
In 2008, PharmaMedDevice™ ran concurrently with INTERPHEX in Philadelphia, PA from March 26-28. Over 5,000 pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers converged at these 2 events to find answers to their regulatory challenges, create new partners, and source solutions for new product development. The industry wasrepresented by key leaders and industry innovators with the event’s Conference Program.
Why… Several events serve the device industry, but none focus on the convergence of medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and biologics — the future of the industry. This ONE event will gather both the medical device and pharmaceutical professionals that are building the future – PharmaMedDevice is the place where the merging industries meet.
Why INTERPHEX… In 2008 PharmaMedDevice was co-located with INTERPHEX, which attracts thousands of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturers annually for the latest ideas, products, and solution for the entire scope of the pharmaceutical business. Many pharmaceutical, medical device and biologic companies are partnering to share competencies and develop exciting new products. INTERPHEX has a perfect synergy to help bring these industries together and leverage the 1,000 medical device industry professionals already in attendance.
FREE crossover attendance will be offered to all INTERPHEX and PharmaMedDevice visitors for either event, maximizing the opportunity to source new equipment and service providers at these two shows. Pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers will converge at these two events to find answers to their regulatory challenges, create new partnerships, network and source solutions for combination product development.
