The Biopharmaceutical Development & Production Week took place on March 2-6 at the beautiful La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, CA and welcomed 668 attendees to learn from the most respected industry scientists, engineers and executives for five full days of programming.

The week long event was comprised of the following conferences:

	IBC's 22nd International Antibody Development & Production March 4-6, 2009 www.IBCLifeSciences.com/antibodyprod
	IBC's 13th International Process Validation for Biopharmaceuticals March 2-3, 2009 www.IBCLifeSciences.com/process
	IBC's 5th International Outsourcing Manufacturing of Biopharmaceuticals March 2-3, 2009 www.IBCLifeSciences.com/outsourcing
	IBC's 4th Annual Technology Transfer for Biopharmaceuticals March 2-3, 2009 www.IBCLifeSciences.com/transfer
	IBC's Inaugural Non-Antibody Protein Therapeutics Development & Production March 4-5, 2009 www.IBCLifeSciences.com/nonantibody

Attendees benefitted from a wide array of programming formats including keynotes, case studies, strategy discussion forums, panel discussions, technology workshops and numerous networking opportunities. This year's event also included the successful launch of IBC's Inaugural Non-Antibody Protein Therapeutics Development & Production complimenting the Annual Antibody Development & Production and expanding our programming to cover bioprocessing topics for all proteins.

Keynote presentations delivered by Dr. E. Morrey Atkinson of Eli Lilly, Dr. Tim Charlebois of Wyeth, Dr. Thomas Ryll of Biogen Idec, Dr. Ron Taticek of Genentech, Dr. David Robinson of Merck and Dr. Arindam Bose of Pfizer examined the dramatic and significant advances in bioprocessing, lessons learned from our failures along with the future challenges and developments that will require companies to employ aggressive innovation and adaptability to succeed.

Featured presentations by Enda Moran of Wyeth and Wolfgang Noe of Biogen Idec discussed the application of QbD and described a paradigm shift taking place in cell-culture based biomanufacturing processes.

Additional Highlights included:

• 5 Standing-room only break-out discussions and 3 interactive panel discussions gave attendees the opportunity to actively problem-solve the most challenging issues in bioprocessing.
• 53 Presenters provided comprehensive coverage of the topics across several disciplines and during every stage of development for upstream and downstream processing.
• 14 Technology workshops gave companies the ability to showcase the tools and techniques that are driving the bioprocessing field.
• Plus, the "Sold Out" exhibition was the largest ever for this event with a total of 75 booths and networking abounded as evidenced by the heavy traffic in every isle during the refreshment breaks, luncheons and cocktail receptions.

Mark your calendars for the 2010 event which is scheduled for March 1-5 at La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, CA!
