Welcome to the ISPE-CaSA 2021 Life Sciences Technology Conference Call for Abstracts 

We are excited to host our 28th annual ISPE-CaSA Life Sciences Technology Conference on March 9 and 10, 2021 as a virtual education conference.  The planning process is underway and we are seeking speakers to deliver meaningful content on your latest forward thinking concepts that relate to our local industry and beyond.   

​​​​​​​

This year's conference theme is "Race to Recovery". In 2020, members of our pharmaceutical society stepped up to face something that has taken many lives, crippled economies, and has left most practicing a new way of life - a worldwide pandemic. ISPE CaSA’s theme for the 2021 Life Sciences Technology Conference spotlights how as an industry, we were able to shift our attention to meet Covid-19 challenges through unprecedented collaborations, unparalleled focus to vaccine research and support, and yet maintain business continuity. Existing patients are served and developing technologies and methods prepare us to prevent the next global virus outbreak from becoming a pandemic.
