About the Event

The stage is set, the anticipation is palpable, and we are delighted to announce our return with renewed vigor for the 8th Annual Pharma Manufacturing and Automation Convention 2026, co-located with the Pharma Manufacturing & Automation Excellence Awards 2026 at Novotel Hyderabad Convention Centre & HICC, scheduled for October 8th. This event is a response to the trajectory of rapid evolution that the pharma industry is on right now. This transformation is driven by technological advancements, regulatory changes, and the ever-increasing demand for quality and innovation. We aim to provide a platform for sharing insights, fostering collaboration, and unveiling strategies that will shape the future of this industry.

This year’s convention goes beyond buzzwords like digital transformation and AI adoption. Its theme, ‘Lean, Clean, and Digitally Mean,’ captures the spirit of building modern plants and empowered teams.
1.⁠ ⁠’Lean’- focuses on advancing lean manufacturing principles to reduce waste, boost productivity, and drive cost efficiency.
2.⁠ ⁠’Clean’- means developing defined and precise processes that ensure consistent quality and compliance.
3.⁠ ⁠’Digitally Mean’- represents the smart, thoughtful adoption of digital technologies, with critical thinking embedded in every upgrade and automation plan.

In a world characterized by unprecedented technological innovation and regulatory complexity, our Pharma Manufacturing and Automation Event is the compass for navigating the pharmaceutical journey.
