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.
What should exhibitors know before CPHI Americas?
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.
