The Conferences
In 2026, the PharmaLab Congress will again offer a diverse programme to professionals from analytical and microbiological quality control in industry, from contract laboratories, authorities and service providers. It will be conducted at a new venue, the darmstadtium in Darmstadt (close to Frankfurt International Airport).
The congress, which is aimed at employees and managers in all laboratory areas of the pharmaceutical industry, is composed of pre-conference workshops, international conferences from the fields of analytics, bioanalytics, microbiology and CGT/ATMP, as well as the accompanying exhibition.
Speakers will provide information on the latest developments in laboratory methods, systems, materials and the current status of regulatory requirements of pharmacopoeias and guidelines in their lectures.
Three pre-conference workshops on 23 November and several conferences on 24/25 November 2026 will provide delegates with important and new information on analytics, bioanalytics and microbiology.
