Current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMPs, provide for systems that assure proper design, monitoring, and control of manufacturing processes and facilities. Adherence to the cGMP regulations assures the identity, strength, quality, and purity of drug products by requiring that manufacturers of medications adequately control manufacturing operations. In this presentation, experts in cGMP facility design from Precis Engineering, Kristina Pumphrey, PE @Tim Lisle, AIA, and @John Volence, PE, CEM will discuss the fundamentals of cGMP’s and how they translate into pharmaceutical facility design requirements imposed by the FDA. This presentation is best suited for the pharmaceutical professional that would like to broaden their understanding of cGMP’s in facility design.
Registration will open at 5:30pm and a buffet dinner will be served at 6:00pm, followed by the presentations. One complimentary drink ticket will be provided, followed by a cash bar.
The program will conclude at 8:00pm.
"WALK-INs" will be accepted the night of the event, with a $10 surcharge per ticket type (cash and credit card will be accepted).
