Event at-a-glance
The Pharma Cleaning and Containment Summit 2026 organized by Veridon Global, taking place from 20–22 May 2026 in Milan, Italy, is a high-level industry event focused on the evolving demands of cleaning validation, containment engineering, and cross-contamination control in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
As the sector continues to embrace high-potency APIs, continuous manufacturing, and multi-product facilities, the need for robust, compliant, and efficient cleaning and containment systems has never been more urgent. This summit brings together global experts from manufacturing, quality, EHS, engineering, and regulatory affairs to explore the latest guidance, technologies, and best practices in the field.
Expect insightful presentations, real-world case studies, and interactive sessions on topics such as barrier systems, isolator technology, cleaning validation lifecycle, occupational exposure strategies, and risk-based approaches to facility design. Attendees will gain practical knowledge to enhance safety, ensure compliance, and optimize operations in high-risk manufacturing environments.
Whether you’re looking to benchmark strategies, source solutions, or stay ahead of regulatory shifts, the Pharma Cleaning and Containment Summit 2026 is your go-to platform for collaboration, learning, and innovation in this critical area of pharmaceutical production.
