Trade Show Scheduling

Informexusa is the premier networking event for the chemical industry in the United States. It is designed to showcase the chemistry capabilities of high-value, high-quality businesses that invest in R&D, quality systems, applications development and more.

Exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of the chemical industry and sell their capabilities into a diverse range of markets. Although they vary widely in the types of chemistry they practice and the types of syntheses they perform, they all have the same ability to use cutting-edge, high-tech chemistry to meet the emerging needs of the commercial manufacturing environment.

Informexusa seeks to match exhibiting companies with a highly qualified attending audience and to create an atmosphere to foster networking and dialogue in response to the increasing collaboration between suppliers and manufacturers on new product development. Networking tools include catered breakfasts, luncheons, receptions, showcase presentations and roundtable discussions. They also use an online networking, search, and appointment scheduling program, Accumatch, to maximize the time and opportunity of people who attend the exhibition. Informexusa is a must-attend event for exchanging critical, high-value information within the fine and specialty chemical industry.

The Informex Pharma Buyers Panel will focus on outsourcing in a time of retrenchment and transformation including how layoffs, restructuring and consolidation affect outsourcing practices in the pharmaceutical sector.
