Event Overview

Event Overview

Antibody Development & Production conference was a featured conference as the anchor event at IBC's Biopharmaceutical Development & Production Week which took place on March 2-6, 2009 and welcomed 668 attendees to Carlsbad, CA including representatives from 18 of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies.

The Antibody Development & Production conference attracted process development, bioprocessing engineers and manufacturing scientists who gathered to explore and discuss the industry's best practices across the bioprocessing spectrum, including the most critical stages of upstream and downstream processing.

Conference Highlights Included:

  • Three stimulating keynote presentations from Biogen, Idec, Pfizer, Inc. and Wyeth BioPharma. These three industry experts shared issues on how do we to go 30g/l, next generation commercial processes and share thoughts from the new kids on the biotherpeutics block.
  • Standing room only - interactive discussions forums, workshops and panels provided attendees invaluable and uncensored insights on today's most critical topics. The discussions allowed everyone to interact in a intimate setting designed to collectively and actively problem-solve the most pressing challenges in bioprocessing
  • Exclusive case studies delivered novel approaches to: accelerate cell line development and shorten development timelines, identify critical product quality attributes and improve product quality, overcome bottlenecks in downstream processing,
  • Experts discussed and detailed the perceptions and realities of downstream processing and debated if it could keep pace economically with cell culture, which was followed by several presentations that focused on the development and implementation of alternative chromatography methods.

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.

Planning is now underway for Biopharmaceutical Development & Production week 2010 which will return to the La Costa Resort on Spa on March 1-5. Join the Antibody Development & Production priority contact list for latest updates on this conference for 2010!
