(ISPE: Tampa, FL) -- The International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE), a global, nonprofit association serving more than 22,000 pharmaceutical science and manufacturing professionals, will present a conference focused on good automated manufacturing practices (GAMP). The event, “Improve Productivity with Risk-Based Systems Validation,” will take place in New Brunswick, New Jersey, on Sept. 12–13, 2011, and will be offered again in Brussels, Belgium, on Nov. 14–15, 2011.

“ISPE has been issuing GAMP resources since the inception of GAMP, and therefore has a responsibility to the industry to focus on real-world solutions for real-world challenges,” says ISPE president and CEO Bob Best. “2011 marks the 20th anniversary of GAMP, so it seemed like the perfect time to bring together some of the top GAMP experts in the world for an intensive look at GAMP concepts. The leaders of our three most-active communities of practice—GAMP, project management, and commissioning and qualification—have worked hard to develop a set of sessions that fulfill ISPE’s responsibility and address several of the industry’s most vital needs.”
