From Russia with love? CPhI branded event will be discontinued

A joint event organised by UBM and Restec — CPhI @ IPhEB Russia — will be discontinued as a CPhI branded event next year with Restec set to organise a standalone IPhEB exhibition instead.

The standalone exhibition will take place in Saint Petersburg, which was where the event started in 2011 before moving to Moscow in 2015.

Attendance of the event has grown to 5,000 over the 6 years it has been taking place and Restec will further guild the profile of the IPhEB brand as the premier event for Russia.

CPhI’s organiser, UBM, will focus on strengthening its global pharma portfolio and is expanding sales in eight other CPhI brands globally, including a new event in the Middle East & Africa.
