Reed Exhibitions, a leading organizer of trade and consumer events and producers of the global INTERPHEX brand, is partnering with the ISPE, the world’s largest not-for-profit society serving pharmaceutical manufacturing professionals, to create INTERPHEX Canada. In creating a meeting place for Canadian life science companies engaged in the core pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, INTERPHEX Canada will offer the largest gathering of life science manufacturing professionals in Canada. INTERPHEX Canada’s conference and exhibition will debut September 24-25, 2008 in Montreal, Quebec at the Palais des Congres de Montreal. The Canadian event joins eight other INTERPHEX events that are produced around the world by Reed Exhibitions, including USA, Puerto Rico, Mexico, UK, India, China, Singapore and Japan. ISPE is a major sponsor and supporter of the global INTERPHEX events. “Canada is the 8th largest pharmaceutical market in the world and the 4th fastest growing market after China, Mexico and Spain. Producing an INTERPHEX event in Montreal provides a great opportunity for our global customers and the Canadian market,” says Kevin Richards, Group Vice President and VP of International Brand Development. “The support of ISPE and the ISPE Central Canada Chapter will provide the event with a top-notch education program and the local support needed for a successful event in Canada.” “We are thrilled to be a part of this great event for the Canadian industry and to be developing an exceptional education program for it,” says Raymond Marcoux, President of the ISPE Central Canada Chapter. “INTERPHEX Canada will add significant value to our membership and the whole industry.”
