Our Take
Why Exhibit
A highly targeted pharma manufacturing event where 71% of attendees have direct purchasing authority -- among the highest of any pharma event. If you are a CDMO, API supplier, excipient manufacturer, or packaging provider, CPHI Americas delivers qualified buyers from 108 countries in a focused 3-day format.
Why Skip
Small compared to INTERPHEX (3,700 vs 10,000 attendees). Not a clinical or device show -- purely manufacturing and supply chain. If you sell finished devices to clinicians, this is the wrong event entirely.
Insider Tips
CPHI Americas is part of the global CPHI franchise -- if you exhibit here, leverage the relationship for CPHI Worldwide (Frankfurt/Milan) and CPHI Japan. The 71% purchasing authority stat is a strong selling point for ROI justification. Philadelphia Convention Center is union -- budget for drayage.
