The conference celebrates the people behind the scenes who work tirelessly each day to deliver drugs to patients with life-threatening illnesses. Over two half-day sessions, you will hear two exciting keynotes and choose from 10 educational seminars.
In 2020, members of our pharmaceutical society stepped up to face something that has taken many lives, crippled economies, and left most of us practicing a new way of life in a worldwide pandemic.
ISPE-CaSA's theme, "Race to Recovery," spotlights how, as an industry, we have been able to shift our attention to meet the challenges of COVID-19 through unprecedented collaborations and unparalleled focus on vaccine R&D while maintaining business continuity.
We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to participate in a unique industry event!

Volunteer Opportunities Expand Your Network! |

Our ability to reach all corners of our Chapter is improving every day. Virtual connections are becoming the norm.
Online activities help expand ISPE-CaSA's reach and yours too. Even if you are outside the Raleigh-Durham metro area and would like to be more engaged with ISPE, now is a great time to join a committee and work alongside fellow industry professionals in support of our members.
Please view our committees and select your areas of interest:
Another perfect example of a volunteer activity is the timely submission of your abstract and then speaking/presenting at the Technology Conference. The Technology Conference is the best-attended activity within the Chapter, and an opportunity for you to maximize your reach within our Membership.
We’d like to take advantage of technology and better support EVERY member of the Chapter, but need YOUR help to do so! Please send any inquiries to info@ispecasa.org.
We look forward to hearing from you!
