The much-anticipated ICSE 2008 - the Pharmaceutical Contract Services Exhibition - is nearly upon us. This year the exhibition will be held at Messe Frankfurt, Germany from the 30th September until the 2nd October. For over 8 years, ICSE has been connecting buyers and sellers in the market of pharmaceutical contract services. It is the international platform for companies providing a diversity of outsourcing services including clinical trials, contract research, biotechnology and analytical services.

Focusing on innovation and new developments, each ICSE event is designed to fulfil its role as a meeting place and intermediary to the highest level. ICSE represents all sectors and major disciplines of the pharmaceutical industry. Held alongside the CPhI (The Convention on Pharmaceutical Ingredients) and P-MEC events (The Pharmaceutical Machinery and Equipment Convention), ICSE is an integral part of the largest pharmaceutical event in the world. In conjunction with its sister events, ICSE attracts nearly 25,000 pharmaceutical professionals every year. Together, they form the most essential meeting place for pharmaceutical buyers and specifiers from more than 125 countries. The huge attendance figures clearly illustrate that there is no substitute for face-to-face interaction!

Year after year the cross-over traffic and the synergy between the events have proven to create additional opportunities for both visitors and exhibitors. The combination of these three events makes ICSE the ideal business platform and networking opportunity for every pharmaceutical expert. Over the three shows there will be almost 2,000 exhibitors. This clearly emphasises the vast scale of ICSE 2008 and the limitless opportunities that are presented to both companies exhibiting and those attending the event.
