The ISPE Pharma 4.0 & Biopharma Conference is where the digitalization of pharmaceutical manufacturing meets the practical business of making biologics — and where both meet the regulators' expectations. The 2026 edition runs in Berlin, Germany, with a virtual option for remote attendees.

Who should attend
This one is for the people modernizing regulated manufacturing: engineers and IT leads digitalizing GMP operations, biopharma production and tech-transfer teams, and the quality and regulatory professionals who must defend those systems in inspections. If validation of digital systems, data integrity or continuous manufacturing is on your 2027 roadmap, two days in Berlin — or the virtual track — is a cheap way to see where the field is.
