EXHIBITOR INVITATION

ExcipientFest has become America’s premiere technical event for pharmaceutical ingredients and chemicals.

ExcipientFest sponsorship is exclusively targeted to Excipient/Pharma Ingredient Manufacturers, Educational Institutions/Associations and companies directly related to working with pharma ingredients/R&D.

ExcipientFest attracts Pharmaceutical Scientists from the Americas and around the world to a unique two day forum for cutting-edge scientific developments. ExcipientFest features in-depth technical talks on Excipient Technology, New Drug Applications and Regulatory Issues from industry’s top-pharmaceutical experts. ExcipientFest also has a direct impact on the Puerto Rico market, where 9 out of the world’s 10 most popular Rx drugs are produced. The seminar is designed to have a total science focus and to be true to the role of functionality of pharma ingredients in the formulation process. ExcipientFest is accredited for continuing education by the Puerto Rico Associations of Chemists and Pharmacists, and also hosts a poster session on excipients from Universities in PR, USA and Latin America.
