Greetings

IFPAC and INDUNIV have planned an exciting summit meeting on Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and Quality by Design (QbD) initiatives, to be held on June 23 - 24, 2009 at the Conrad Condado Plaza Hotel, San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The meeting will serve not only those that are starting to work in this area, but also to those already seasoned and familiar to these important FDA and industry initiatives. We will have plenty of new information for companies that are already involved in PAT and QbD.

Puerto Rico has a number of the leading PAT/QbD applications in the pharmaceutical and Biotech industries. Representatives from Pfizer, Wyeth, BMS and Merck will be among the exceptional representatives discussing several of these applications.

We have also organized the conference to deliver much more than PAT and Quality by Design. We want this conference to be a showcase of new developments and trends in pharmaceutical science. Our conference program will be based on a quadrant approach, where each quadrant of the IFPAC summer summit conference will have a specific topic and set of deliverables.

• Quadrant I: Regulatory QbD - Interaction with the FDA
• Quadrant II: PAT & QbD Implementation
• Quadrant III: Engineering and Control for PAT and QbD
• Quadrant IV: Implementing Spectroscopic Methods in Industry

We believe that we have organized a unique conference with a holistic approach to Process Analytical Technology, Quality by Design and overall Process Understanding.

Please join us at the Condado Plaza on June 23 - 24 for this conference.
