Description

9th International Conference and Exhibition

The reproducible production of organic crystals in the correct form (habit, solvate, polymorph) and particle size is a source of much heart-ache.

Although production of new polymorphs and solvates can be a source of profit for companies through extension of the patent lifetime, the inability to manufacture a consistent crystalline form often leads to costly project delays, particularly in chemical development.

This conference will focus on these issues from the viewpoint of the process chemist and chemical engineer; i.e. on chemical development issues which impact the ability to routinely manufacture the chosen crystalline form, whether this be the most stable or a metastable crystal.

Case studies from different companies will show how different organisations identify and solve these extremely difficult issues in different ways, depending on how far the project is along the development time line.

Experts in the field will also give lectures on problem solving and troubleshooting, as well as giving insight into new techniques, (supercritical fluids, polymorph prediction etc.) which will be of value in the future.

How will you benefit from attending?
  • Invest in yourself: keeping up to date on current developments and future trends could mean greater job security.
  • Learn from a wide range of industrial case studies given by hand-picked industrial speakers.
  • Take home relevant ideas and information that are directly applicable to your own work, with the full proceedings in colour and a CD of the talks.
  • Save time. Our intensive, commercial-free programme means less time away from work.
  • Meet and network with the key people in the industry in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.   
But don't just take our word for it!  Here is what previous attendees have said about the conference:

"A very informative and lively conference on a niche subject. The case studies were very interesting. The overall event was well co-ordinated and enjoyable."    Sai Advantium

"I would recommend my colleagues to attend this conference and will come back myself."   Astellas Pharma Inc

"An excellent mix of topics. I also enjoyed talking to instrument vendors and made new useful contacts."   H Lundbeck A/S

"Excellent, stimulating conference, with all good lectures and some outstanding ones."   University of Southampton

"Very good conference, as usual. Well organised, good scientific content and plenty of opportunity for informal interaction."   Solvias AG
