PRINCETON, N.J., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --



  

         Over 70% of space already booked, educational component added,

            Cirque du Soleil confirmed for reinstated Gala Dinner



meeting place for buyers and sellers of high-value chemistry for a broad

range of applications, today announced that over 70% of exhibitor space is

now booked for its flagship InformexUSA event (Charlotte, NC, February 7-10,

2011) with 344 exhibitors from 20 countries already confirmed. Event

organizers UBM Live also reported a positive response to its call for

presentations for the inaugural educational conference program, while

revealing that the Gala Dinner in Charlotte will feature a special

performance from the world renowned Cirque du Soleil.


    "Charlotte is proving an extremely popular venue as InformexUSA looks to

build on its 27 year reputation as the premier event for buyers and sellers

of chemistry and chemical services to meet and exchange critical, high-value

information," commented Informex Global Brand Director Jennifer Jessup at the

CPhI Worldwide event in Paris. "Favorable labor rates, reasonably priced

hotel accommodation and accessibility, combined with the strength of North

Carolina's pharma and biotech sectors are just a few of the reasons why

exhibitors such as Albermarle, BASF, Evonik, Lonza, SAFC and Solvay have

confirmed their participation."


    New for 2011

    As well as the new venue, Informex has extended its program of formal and

informal networking events for 2011 and, for the first time, will feature an

educational conference program. Running from 8 am until 11 am on the

Wednesday and Thursday of the show, the conference will comprise three tracks

on each day, covering Specialty, Pharma and General chemistry/chemical

business. Topics will include: Custom Processing; Discovery & Early

Development; Sustainability; Process Development; Pharma Manufacturing and

Regulatory & Compliance. Presentation submissions have now been received by

the Informex Conference Committee and a full agenda will be announced at the

end of October 2010.


    Designed to provide a guaranteed, quality forum for chemical industry

executives to exchange industry views and information with their peers, the

2nd Informex Gala Dinner will be held on Tuesday, February 8th and will

feature a private performance from Cirque du Soleil. The event will look to

build on the success of the original dinner which was held in 2008, featured

Colin Powell as the keynote speaker and attracted over 650 guests.


    "The goal of the Gala Dinner is to offer a first class networking

opportunity for the chemical industry's top tier management and we already

have 332 guests registered," continued Jessup. "We feel that 2011 is the time

to bring the dinner back as the economy has shown signs of recovery and the

show will take place in a city unfamiliar to many. By re-introducing the

dinner, we guarantee the entertainment for the most important evening of the

week and are absolutely thrilled to have been able to secure a private

performance from Cirque du Soleil."


    Themed around Racecars and Robber Barons of Charlotte circa 1910 the

formal event will see the presentation of the acclaimed Informex 'Profiles in

Sustainability' Award, presented to innovators in sustainable chemistry, as

well as a donation to the ACS Green Chemistry Institute Education and

Outreach Program, from contributions made by Informex registrants.


    In addition to networking events on every evening of the show,

InformexUSA 2011 will also feature a structured networking session, "Meet the

Innovators" on Tuesday 3-4pm, pre-show customer showcases, conference

sessions, plus dedicated Pharma and Specialty Customer Panels. A Poster

Pavilion, featuring innovators and academia will be introduced for the first

time and the event will be collocated with the debut of Crop World North

America, the exhibition and congress focused on sustainable crop production.
