BioProcess International European Summit: Connecting Science, Technology and Business to Optimise Bioprocessing

BPI Europe Summit, THE Bioprocessing event, bringing together key players from all major departments in bioprocessing: Cell Culture, Downstream, Manufacturing, Vaccines, Viral Safety and Cell Line Development, will be held at the RAI in Amsterdam on 23-25 April 2018. With 900+ attendees, 275+ companies and over 70 sessions showcasing new data and technologies, this year is one not to be missed!

A few highlights of this year’s show include:

• 7 events 1 location–  rather than a small selection of talks on each subject area, BPI Europe 2018 offers in depth programmes across all phases of bioprocessing
• BPI Exhibition, a visit to the BPI exhibition hall will offer insight into some of the most innovative equipment and services to hit today’s biopharmaceutical market. Evaluate latest technologies and troubleshooting at Industry 4.0- BPI Innovation Lab
• 80% NEW Speakers – Including senior-level bioprocessing professionals from Amgen, Biogen, Takeda, Bayer, BoehringerIngelhiem, Pall LifeSciences and other top companieswill be sharing their insights and sparking discussions, covering critical industry topics and trends.

• All of the plenary speakers are EXCLUSIVE to BPI Europe – Unavailable at any other meetings
• More than just presentations – BPI Live Labs and BPI Innovation Lab demonstrate a series of practical products – Evaluate latest technologies and troubleshooting
• Rising Stars Platform – Showcasing the upcoming talent in bioprocessing today
• New partnering platform: partneringONE

• Koningsdag Networking Party – with the famous ‘Kings Day’ taking place the day after the congress, join your peers and colleagues to unwind with a Dutch themed party including refreshments, cocktails, live music and games to keep the networking going on into the evening
• And much more

This year, BPI Europe a will have comprehensive and complex programme, covering critical industry topics and trends:

Upstream Processing
