Life Sciences Symposium
Join Your Peers in Shaping Tomorrow’s Manufacturing Facilities
March 28-30, 2017 • Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Start shaping tomorrow’s facilities today
Drug manufacturers need to be more flexible than ever to bring high-quality, more affordable drugs to market faster.
What the flexibility will look like is still being defined by market changes. Everything from the aging of the global
population, to newer regulations, to the shift to on-demand drug production is changing our industry. How we meet
these challenges is up to us.
This user-driven Life Sciences Symposium is our opportunity to collaborate to shape what tomorrow’s manufacturing
facilities will look like. During two and a half days in Philadelphia, we’ll review case study presentations and collaborate in
facilitated group discussions. We’ll explore your ideas and hopes for overcoming these challenges.
Join us as we delve into these four challenges:
• Managing Data Through the Product Lifecycle
• Process Intelligence and Analytics
• Flexible Facilities and Single-Use Technologies
• Continuous Manufacturing
Who Should Attend
Vice Presidents, Directors, Managers, or Project Leads in:
•Process Automation
•Information Technology (IT)
•Advanced Process Control
•Research & Development (R&D)
•Process Development
•Production (Clinical and Commercial)

Session Topics
Managing Data Through the Product Lifecycle
Managing data associated with a given product’s lifetime including recipes, formulas, materials,
equipment, and licensing information is the crux of this topic. Pipeline acceleration is critically important
for life sciences companies. Tools and methods that can aid to accelerate the transfer of new molecular
entities from the laboratory to large-scale manufacturing are needed. Enterprise Recipe management,
an end-to-end structured management of product recipes from early phases of development through
commercial manufacturing is a key part of this topic.
Process Intelligence and Analytics
Drug makers are generating data from electronic systems at an accelerating rate. Data complexity
already delays manufacturing and product decisions. Intelligence embedded in the data can be used to
gain valuable insight to the manufacturing process. Visualizing this insight at the right time for decision
making will provide significant impact on the process, release, and time to market. Deploying these
capabilities throughout the industry’s manufacturing networks will require robust IT architectures and
standard business practices, as well as careful consideration of several factors. Topics include real-time
analytics, data integration from multiple sources, contextualization, and visualization to support timely
process understanding and decision-making.
Flexible Facilities and Single-Use Technologies
Single-use technologies reduce drug manufacturers’ costs by increasing equipment utilization. But
shifting from steel to plastic introduces significant challenges. These include managing the growing
data flood and prudently embracing next-generation instrumentation, whose trustworthiness
remains unproven. To adopt single-use technologies, manufacturers will need to anticipate how new
automation and new production-scheduling and management approaches will affect data structures.
This session discusses how to best support single-use technologies, including instrumentation and
automation implementation strategies, as well as data integration.
Continuous Manufacturing
Many companies are keenly interested in the benefits of continuous manufacturing and have started
investing in making this a reality for some of their products. The industry has initiated this in the oral
solid dose side of the business, yet a few companies are looking at how to run biological processes in
a more continuous manner. Process understanding, continuous control methodologies, materials
management, and data management as well as international regulations are key components of this
transition.
Hotel Information
Sofitel Philadelphia is conveniently situated downtown near the Kimmel Center and
Rodin Museum. Minutes from historic attractions, the hotel is less than 10 miles from the
Philadelphia International Airport.
