Overview

The annual ECU Spring Pharma Conference offers two days of information sharing, topical discussions, and networking with fellow pharma professionals. Contributors include regional subject matter experts, vendors, sponsors, and invited speakers.
The event provides a national conference atmosphere while leveraging lower cost, time, and travel commitments to allow more eastern North Carolina pharma professionals to participate and find impact.
In addition to the general program, attendees can choose between 24 presentations delivered in smaller breakout sessions. The technical program is divided between Laboratory and Manufacturing tracks which are each split into Pharmdamentals and Advanced topics to engage all career stages. Topics are intended to support the interests of companies in the Biopharma Crescent region of eastern North Carolina including small molecule and biopharma applications.

Pharmdamentals
Designed for early-career professionals to supplement the practical knowledge used daily with a broader understanding of their role in the pharmaceutical industry and address the “why” behind common pharma approaches.

Advanced
Designed for experienced professionals to discuss industry hot topics such as new guidance documents, quality best practices, and regulatory trends as well as benchmarking and networking with colleagues from other companies.
