The Next-Generation Process Development & Manufacturing Summit is a focused, one-day meeting bringing together industry experts across biologics process development, manufacturing, CMC strategy, and drug product development. The agenda covers the complete development pathway, from early process optimisation and scale-up readiness through to purification, regulatory alignment, formulation, and commercial manufacturing.
Through a combination of keynote presentations, spotlight sessions, pre-arranged one-to-one meetings, and in-depth roundtable discussions, the summit explores key challenges including accelerating process development timelines, maintaining product quality during scale-up, overcoming manufacturing and purification bottlenecks, and building resilient supply chains. Sessions will also examine evolving CMC and regulatory expectations, next-generation formulation technologies, lifecycle management, and patient-centric biologics design.
Designed for senior scientists and decision-makers, the summit emphasises interactive, discussion-led sessions that enable peer-to-peer exchange, collaborative problem-solving, and strategic networking across the biologics process development and manufacturing ecosystem.
