If you haven’t already submitted a proposal for the 2018 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo in Philadelphia, now is your chance! You have until 28 February 2018 to complete your submission. This is your opportunity to contribute to the industry-critical pharmaceutical conversations that take place in the education sessions at the 2018 ISPE Annual Meeting & Expo, and spill over into the Expo Hall, social networking events, and informal interactions throughout the entire meeting. There is no better opportunity to connect with pharma professionals at all levels from all over the world and build lasting relationships and networks. Just last year I happened to sit next to someone on the plane who was attending and presenting at their first ISPE Annual Meeting. They had no idea what to expect – and boy were they going to be in for the one of the more rewarding professional experiences of their life. When I chatted with them later at the conference, they were so excited and glad they had the opportunity to participate and learn from the meeting, but also the amazing opportunity to expand their profession network.
