About

We create meaningful opportunities for professionals to connect, collaborate, and grow within the biopharmaceutical and life sciences community. Through ISPE’s broad range of products and services, we bring our members together via ongoing education and training programs, global industry insights, and active collaboration with the FDA on Baseline® Pharmaceutical Engineering Guides.

Our San Francisco Bay Area Chapter has received numerous ISPE Awards in recognition of our strong industry engagement and member-focused initiatives. We stay closely connected to the local industry and design innovative, educational, and highly interactive programs that encourage peer-to-peer networking and knowledge exchange.

Vendor Night is a cornerstone of our networking programs, bringing together suppliers, service providers, and industry professionals in a dynamic, face-to-face environment. This event encourages relationship-building, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas, making it an invaluable opportunity for members to connect directly with vendors and explore new solutions supporting the biopharmaceutical industry.

Fun Day is one of our most anticipated annual events and a highlight of our social networking calendar. The event features a golf tournament and winery tours, providing multiple ways for attendees to engage.

We were also the first ISPE chapter to host CEO Night, which has become one of our most highly attended networking events.

Our calendar of events is designed to foster a wide variety of connections. Our Women in Pharma program features several engaging networking experiences, including Cocktails and Conversations, a tennis tournament that blends friendly competition with professional connection, and Women in Biotech Frontiers, a forward-looking forum that brings women leaders together to explore emerging trends and innovations in the biopharmaceutical industry. Commuter Conferences are held in the afternoon to encourage engagement without traffic concerns, dinner meetings, facility tours, exhibit shows, and a variety of social events. We also give back to the community through Brunch with Biotech & Community Affairs events that engage students of all ages in the local community.
