UBM Live Introduces a New Virtual Conference Focused on Track and Trace Solutions for the Pharma Sector

AMSTERDAM, August 3, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    Leading events organisers UBM Live [http://www.ubmlive.com ] and UBM
Canon [http://www.ubmcanon.com ], a division of UBM plc (LSE: UBM), today
announced a virtual conference event which will examine one of the key
issues facing the Pharma and BioPharma supply chain, counterfeit drugs.
Titled 'Pharmaceutical Track and Trace Authentication: The Fight against
Fake Drugs', the event will take place on September 13th from 12:00 to 20:00
Paris time, 11:00 to 19:00 London time and 6:00 to 14:00 New York time and
will be presented by UBM brands InnoPack and Pharmapack in association with
CPhI Conferences and Pharmaceutical & Medical Packaging News. The conference
will include resources for buyers and sellers of technologies and services
that address track and trace applications, authentication, labeling and
coding, tamper evidence, automatic identification and more. The online
format will offer a tradeshow-like set-up with supplier webinars, two
"exhibition halls" and a lineup of featured speakers. Event registration is
available by visiting: http://www.trackandtraceevent.com.

    Confirmed speakers at the Conference include the European Federation of
Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations (EFPIA), EDQM - Department for
Biological Standardisation, OMCL Network and HealthCare (DBO),
Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) and Rx-360, as
well as Signature Sponsor, Systech, and Executive Sponsor, Cognex.

    "In recent years, issues surrounding counterfeit and tainted ingredients
and pharmaceuticals have come to the forefront of the pharmaceutical and
biopharm industries. These concerns not only affect the players within these
sectors, they trickle down to end-users and put patient's lives at risk. It
is of exceptional importance that ingredients used for the manufacture of
pharmaceuticals are not only authentic and safe at the time of production,
but are also transported in a secure fashion so that they are not
compromised at any point along the way," noted Haf Cennydd, UBM Live Brand
Director. "We have created this virtual event with the intention of offering
a convenient format for key players in the industry to commune on this topic
and find the best solutions and resources available to address these
concerns."

    The online format of this event eliminates travel costs and offers
unparalleled accessibility to both exhibitors and attendees who are able to
participate from anywhere in the world. Exhibitors will benefit from the
event by gaining access to a targeted audience of senior pharma decision
makers who are seeking to find solutions for the growing threats of quality
and counterfeiting in pharmaceutical ingredients production. Attendees will
have the opportunity to directly interact with exhibitors who provide the
services and products they are looking for, as well as access to an easily
navigable programme of sessions presented by thought leaders in the
industry.

    UBM Live's market leading annual schedule of pharma brands includes CPhI
for pharmaceutical ingredients, ICSE for contract services and outsourcing,
P-MEC Europe for pharmaceutical equipment, machinery and technology,
InnoPack for innovative packaging concepts in the pharmaceutical packaging
market, and BioPh for the biopharmaceuticals market. Collocated annual
events include South America (25-26, August, Transamerica Expo Centre, Sao
Paulo, Brazil 2011), Worldwide (25-27, October, Messe Frankfurt, Germany
2011), India (30 November - 2 December, 2011, Bombay Exhibition Centre,
