More than two thirds of previous exhibitors and an impressive number of new companies have already signed up for SCIpharm 2006, the biopharmaceutical event run by and for the industry
SCIpharm 2006 will take place at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Edinburgh, Scotland, from 14-17 May 2006.
The organisers regard the exhibition that runs alongside the conference, business and networking activities, as integral to the success of the event, allowing attendees to experience at first hand the innovations and solutions offered by leading providers to this sector.
Graham Dixon, chairman of the SCIpharm organising committee, commented: "SCIpharm is a highlight in the international pharmaceutical industry calendar.
"The meeting builds on its successful multi-track formula to provide the perfect opportunity not only to learn about the latest developments in each stage of the pharmaceutical pipeline, but also to network at all levels within the industry, and to meet 1:1 with industry leaders and influential technical managers.
These comments are endorsed by Steve Carney, editor of Elsevier's Drug Discovery Today: "Having attended the SCIpharm meeting in 2004, I was so impressed by the quality of the content and the trade exhibition that I was very interested in becoming involved in this event, which I thought was likely to become one of the leading European forums for cutting edge drug discovery research.
"I am glad to say that since becoming part of the organising committee for the 2006 meeting, I have not been disappointed.
"I am highly impressed with the standard of speakers invited and the structure of what I believe will be the 'must-attend' European drug discovery event of 2006.
The SCIpharm 2006 organising committee is also keen to encourage local visitors to attend the exhibition, and has made daily exhibition passes available for a nominal fee.
New this year, a full programme of events within the exhibition hall itself will provide an added attraction for visitors.
