PDA Midwest Event

Microbial Contamination and Control

PDA Midwest Chapter is pleased to announce that we will once again partner with the Hilton Chicago Northbrook Hotel in Northbrook, Illinois for one of our signature events, the 18th Annual Microbial Contamination and Control Conference.

Join industry colleagues, subject matter experts, and peers on Wednesday and Thursday, May 13–14, for two days of engaging discussion and learning . This conference will feature an agenda packed with thought‑provoking presentations that explore both current expectations and emerging opportunities across the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries.

Attendees can expect in‑depth sessions covering key topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Environmental Monitoring, Contamination Control Strategies, Root Cause Analysis, and other critical elements of microbial control programs. The program is designed to support practical application, knowledge sharing, and meaningful dialogue among professionals responsible for maintaining robust contamination control and sterility assurance systems.

Networking is an integral part of this event. Refreshment breaks will feature tabletop exhibits, providing dedicated time for peer‑to‑peer interaction and opportunities to connect with exhibitors showcasing relevant products and services. To add to the experience, raffle prizes will be awarded following the Thursday afternoon break.

Whether you are looking to deepen your technical understanding, exchange best practices, or expand your professional network, the 18th Annual Microbial Contamination and Control Conference offers valuable insights and connections in a collaborative setting.
