The US pharmaceutical industry’s largest and best-known annual conference and exhibition, Interphex2004, with 950 exhibitors and four concurrent conferences, will take place from March 16-18 2004 at Jacob K Javits Convention Center in New York City.

Formerly focused primarily on production and packaging of pharmaceuticals, the new Interphex will help the entire industry to gather under one roof. “It’s a catalyst for new technologies, strategic alliances, cutting-edge education, and opportunities for gathering market intelligence and exchanging ideas,” said Kevin Richards, vice president of Reed Exhibitions.

Solutions and education at Interphex2004 cover drug discovery & development, outsourcing & contract services, and information technology, in addition to process manufacturing & packaging.

Interphex is attracting attendees from at least 40 of the top 50 pharmaceutical companies, and exhibitors from major industry vendors. Global companies introducing new products and solutions at Interphex2004 include Romaco, Bosch, Pall Life Sciences, Thermo Electron, Harro Hoefliger, Rockwell Automation, Cardinal Health, Millipore Corporation and Steris Corporation.
