Why you should attend

With 4 years experience running this event, the 2010 Extractables & Leachables conference will deliver cutting edge analysis of testing techniques and high level insight into the European regulatory landscape, while allowing extensive time for debate and networking.

Attendees will take away not only the latest news on regulatory updates, results from industry working groups and progress in analysis of new materials for pharmaceutical packaging, but also a valuable knowledge-sharing experience through the extensive networking and social agenda.

Returning in 2010 is the co-location with our well established Plastics and Paper in Contact with Foodstuffs event, with participants fulfilling the same role as for E&L, but in the food packaging industry. Attendees will be free to migrate across both conference programmes and add value through shared networking time with those working in this parallel supply chain.

"Food contact and pharmaceutical packaging regulations have a lot in common and often share the same origins, so it makes perfect sense to co-locate these two popular conferences and maximise the benefits from discussion across the two packaging applications" said Robert Stead, Head of Events at Pira International. "We are delighted to be in Germany for 2010, and look forward to yet another successful conference in one of Europe's most historically rich and forward-thinking cities".
