Informex Rebrands Into Separate Pharmaceutical and Specialty Chemical Segments to Better
Serve Exhibitors and Attendees
PRINCETON, N.J., July 25 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
North America's Leading Fine and Custom Chemicals Tradeshow Welcomes
Registrants with New Format
Serious buyers and sellers of leading fine and custom chemical companies from around the world
who gather at InformexUSA 2010 will experience even more focused, more efficient networking
opportunities than in the past, allowing them to connect more precisely with others in their specific
market.
The show opens February 16, 2010 in San Francisco, with a new agenda to reflect a targeted, but
separate, focus on pharmaceutical and specialty chemical topics.
"The historic focus of Informex has been fine & specialty chemicals, custom chemical
manufacturing, and related chemical materials and services," said Jennifer Jessup, Business Director,
Informex.
"Exhibitors and attendees expressed the need for a show format tailored to their specific market; life
science applications (pharma, biotech, agro) on the one hand and broader specialty and industrial
chemicals, on the other. Our new segmented format is in response to that market need."
Informex Specialty programs will include:
-- Specialty R&D Buyer Showcases featuring R&D speakers from key chemical
companies.
-- Chemical Licensing Breakfast Briefing presented by the Licensing
Executives Society (LES).
-- Green Chemistry Exchange showcasing sustainable and green chemistry
products, technologies and services.
-- Green Chemistry Breakfast Briefing developed in partnership with the
ACS Green Chemistry Institute.
-- Specialty Chemical Pavilion featuring companies serving the specialty
and industrial chemical markets.
Informex Pharma programs will include:
-- API Pavilion displaying Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient companies who
service both generic and branded pharmaceuticals.
-- Pharma Buyer Showcases to allow exhibitors to hear what their customers
are looking for.
"We are happy to see Informex making a conscious effort to focus on specialty chemicals and
getting back to the roots of the show. This is an under-represented market in US tradeshows and one
we are happy to help grow," said Slaton Fry, Director at FutureFuel Chemical Company.
Informex is committed to providing the most valuable trade show for the fine and custom chemical
industry and will continue to evaluate the current needs and wants of its exhibitors and attendees.
