The Excipient World Conference Program provides the most in-depth and comprehensive education program on excipients, covering the entire spectrum of topics for manufacturers of chemically-derived and generic drugs, biologics, biosimilars, OTC, medical device / combination products and emerging sectors such as precision and regenerative medicine.

Manufacturing professionals in formulation, operations, R&D, procurement and regulations must stay current on the latest excipient trends, products, technologies, and regulatory changes. Excipient World’s conference program, expo and networking programs provide all the sessions you need to to meet the demands of the global drug, consumer products and medical device / combination marketplace while advancing your professional careers.

Choosing one or several excipients for a drug or biologic product formulation is an important step in development. Consumer demand for cost-effective products, changing regulations, and new excipient technologies must be considered in the R&D process for new drugs and products.

A carefully-chosen excipient may reduce manufacturing costs by being multifunctional or may enhance patient experience by offering taste masking properties. An excipient must best suit the intended dosage form of the drug, demonstrate great organoleptic properties, conform to pharmacopeial regulations, be easy to source, and work effectively. The right excipient will have the ideal pharmacokinetic properties for the intended pharmaceutical application. It will also work well with a manufacturers existing equipment or fit into a manufacturing plan. Deciding factors may include the intended use of the compound, the amount of compound needed (grams to tonnage) or environmental conditions that might affect an excipient. Other considerations include potential toxicity, the origin of the chemicals, and other special factors, including using a plant-based excipient over one of animal origin (gelatin).

The Excipient World exhibition connects global excipient manufacturing suppliers and the excipient user community to learn about science innovations, new excipients that can be used in formulation and delivery systems, and excipient supply chain and sourcing options. Attendees will have exclusive time and two full days of exhibit hall hours, as well as plenty of networking events to meet with exhibitors and other attendees.

A comprehensive array of excipient solutions will be presented in the exhibit hall, including Source, Products, Process, Functionality, Drug Dosage Forms and Finished products.

Excipient World 2019 will have an expanded show floor presenting more industry suppliers form around the world than ever before.
