Argentina promises to deliver a productive experience for CPhI South America 2010, according to the organiser, leading global business media company UBM International Media.

Taking place from 17-19 August at La Rural – Hall Ocre in Buenos Aires, Argentina, CPhI South America is joined for the first time by the ICSE pavilion, a dedicated area within the show for contract services and clinical trials, underlining the importance and vitality of these sectors within the South American market.

Returning for its second year as an integral element within CPhI South America, the BioPh trail brings together key players to drive forward the biopharma industry and aims to provide a fresh focus on biotech as the innovation driver for the whole pharmaceutical community.

Also taking place during CPhI South America, the Pharmaceutical Forum will host a total of 10 keynote sessions spanning a variety of topics. Featured speakers include Myriam Tevez, Director General of Foreign Trade for the City of Buenos Aires Ministry of Economic Development, and Ruben Rico, renowned author of more than a dozen books about marketing and marketing for exportation.

‘Following two extremely successful years in Brazil, we are excited to bring the event to Argentina for the first time,’ said Eliane van Doorn, UBM International Media’s Group Director for Pharma. ‘With more than 200 exhibitors from 16 countries, and an expected attendance of 5,000, CPhI South America offers excellent networking and new business opportunities for all participating exhibitors and visitors.

‘Global visitor pre-registration levels are already looking very good with four times more Asian visitors registered compared with last year’s event, treble the number of European visitor pre-registrations and a doubling of numbers from the Middle East reflecting the great interest in this emerging market.’

The ‘Match & Meet’ programme, developed especially for CPhI South America, pairs the needs of distributors, buyers and sellers with one another to facilitate face-to-face networking opportunities.

International representatives seeking to sell, buy, distribute or represent companies will have the perfect platform to meet with interested partners, close commercial agreements and network. This year's Match & Meet sessions will have dedicated themes: Day 1 will focus on APIs; Day 2 highlights excipients and Day 3 covers ‘finished dosage.’

Now in its third year, CPhI South America is being held in the heart of Argentina’s pharmaceutical manufacturing hub. The events benefit from the valuable support of key Argentinean trade associations CILFA, COOPERALA and Camara Argentina de Productos Quimicos, as well as South American associations ABIFINA, ABRIFAR, ABIQUIF and Associquim Sincoquim.
