SMi Group Release Agenda for the 9th Annual Industry Gathering: Pre-Filled Syringes Europe 2017

LONDON - Sept. 5, 2016 - PRLog -- Building on the success of its sell-out global Pre-Filled-Syringes series of events and now firmly leading the path in presenting the industry with all the necessary updates on injectable devices, SMi Group returns to Central London on 18th & 19th January 2017 to proudly host Europe's leading 9th annual conference and exhibition: Pre-Filled Syringes Europe.

Pre-Filled Syringes Europe 2017 will once again gather an audience of senior scientists, device manufacturers and PFS market professionals, providing a focal point to discuss the latest innovations and developments in pre-filled syringes; as well as hone in on industry challenges and regulatory compliance.

Despite lucrative opportunities, a number of ongoing challenges still remain - from E&L to device design, through to needle safety and packaging solutions. Through a combination of keynote addresses, topical debate and informed guidance, the agenda for Pre-Filled Syringes Europe 2017 will continue to provide a comprehensive overview for market participants to overcome these challenges and benchmark against experts in the field.

Conference Chair, Alphons Fakler, Group Head of Risk Management at Novartis Pharm said:
