FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
INTERPHEX Opens Registration for 2026 with Expanded Show Floor, Education and Debut of new Contract & Outsourcing Hub
New York City (January 13, 2026) – INTERPHEX, the premier pharmaceutical and biotechnology event returns to NYC, taking place April 21 – 23 at the Javits Center.
Representing the full scope of the pharmaceutical value chain, INTERPHEX continues to be the event to discover breakthrough solutions that enhance manufacturing, development, regulatory compliance and supply chain efficiency to support the evolving industry.
Life science professionals in pharma, biotech, medtech and more join over 600+ suppliers and 140+ speakers for an immersive three days of discovery, networking, vetted education and the debut of the event’s newest contracting and outsourcing hub.
The INTERPHEX 2026 Education Programming in the Learning Lab
2026’s lineup will feature topics ranging from exploring how pharmaceutical quality and resilience are strengthened through secure supply chains & proactive regulatory compliance, to optimized facility design and operations & the effective adoption of AI-driven innovation across development and manufacturing.
Sessions will once again take place in an enclosed, private education space on the show floor and are vetted for scientific validity by an independent Scientific Programming Advisory Committee established in partnership with the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS).
Two tracks will be offered across three stages,
Track 1: Manufacturing Innovation & Process Excellence– explores how advanced digital technologies, lean operations, and sustainable innovation are transforming pharmaceutical manufacturing. Sessions deliver actionable strategies to build resilient, efficient operations that improve productivity and advance global health.
Track 2: Global Regulatory Excellence & Supply Sustainability– examines how regulatory compliance, drug quality, and supply chain sustainability align to enable innovation and global access to medicines. Sessions provide practical insights into global regulatory alignment, US manufacturing reshoring, and EU Annex 1 requirements for sterile manufacturing.
An Education Badge is required for attendees and exhibitors to access the Learning Lab. Both Single-Day and Full Education Badges are available within registration.
Introducing the Contract & Outsourcing Exchange, powered by INTERPHEX – A Connected Outsourcing Ecosystem
The Contract & Outsourcing Exchange (COEX) is INTERPHEX’s newest destination, designed as a dynamic, ‘show-within-a-show’ feel to reflect the full outsourcing ecosystem—bringing together pharma and biotech leaders, CDMOs, and emerging companies navigating early development and manufacturing decisions.
In parallel with COEX, INTERPHEX will host a dedicated startup presence focused on early-stage biotech and pharma companies evaluating outsourcing partners, manufacturing pathways, and development strategies. This creates a unique opportunity for CDMOs to engage not only with established organizations but also with the next generation of companies entering the outsourcing decision cycle.
Among vendors, COEX will also feature a curated education program on a dedicated stage within the area to highlight innovation and excellence in contract manufacturing. The program will also feature investor-informed perspectives, with panels exploring how manufacturing readiness, scalability, and outsourcing strategy increasingly influence investment decisions—particularly in early and mid-stage development.
“Outsourcing decisions don’t happen in isolation,” said Douglas Lugo, Event Director of INTERPHEX. “They sit at the intersection of innovation, manufacturing readiness, and capital. By bringing together CDMOs, pharma and biotech leaders, emerging companies, and investor perspectives within one connected environment, COEX creates earlier alignment across the development lifecycle—helping companies make smarter outsourcing decisions, sooner.”
Together, the Contract & Outsourcing Exchange and the startup presence create a connected environment where innovators, manufacturers, and capital converge—enabling more informed conversations, earlier alignment, and stronger partnerships across the drug development lifecycle.
Access to the COEX experience and education is open to all INTERPHEX badge types. 1:1 matchmaking is available for all interested attendees and COEX exhibitors through INTERPHEX’s exclusive concierge.
