Over 55 Industry Experts Expected to Attend CPhI Worldwide's Pre-Connect Conference - the Pharma Industry's Leading Global Event

LONDON, July 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

The global pharmaceutical industry is facing many challenges and uncertainties as companies strive to align their businesses with the key trends shaping the global marketplace. Revenues are coming under increasing pressure as a consequence of pricing controls caused by healthcare reforms and austerity measures, increased competition, and challenges in bringing new drugs and other products to market.

So, what are the most important decisions senior management will need to make to respond to these pressures? By offering information and insight through rigorous analysis of global and regional trends - from sourcing APIs to advancing drug delivery systems - we want to enable business development, manufacturing and partnering processes to realise their full potential. We do this by engaging senior pharmaceutical executives to speak on the latest hot topics, which in turn facilitates discussion and networking between peers of industry, solution providers and key decision makers alike.

This year, in conjunction with the CPhI Worldwide Exhibition, the 5^th Annual Pre-Connect Conference will be taking place on 21 October at Messe Frankfurt, Germany. With 6 topical modules run across 3 parallel streams, 26 discussion themes, over 55 international industry experts and 180 companies attending, CPhI's Pre-Connect Conference is truly the most important global pharmaceutical event of the year.

In addition to the main conference, CPhI is also running 3 free to attend In-Focus Sessions across post-conference exhibition days providing hands-on, practical guidance on how to capitalise on the already established and up-and-coming industry sectors of Biopharmaceuticals, Animal Health and Natural Extracts.

The conference will include industry professionals from a range of organisations including Teva, Merck Serono, Novartis Pharma, Genentech, Ranbaxy, Boehringer Ingelheim, IMS Health, MHRA Biogen, BASF, Sanofi, Bayer and many more. With expert speakers from the international world of Pharma, this conference offers the opportunity to network and debate with the leaders in this field.
