Informa Markets, organizer of CPHI Americas, will move the event to Miami in 2027 to enhance international accessibility, increase executive participation and support continued growth as a platform for pharmaceutical innovation, outsourcing and strategic partnerships. The shift from Philadelphia reflects a focus on a more connected, content-driven experience for the global pharmaceutical community, leveraging Miami’s role as an international gateway and its growing healthcare and innovation ecosystem.
Sherma Ellis-Daal of Informa Markets said CPHI Americas has seen rising demand for high-value content, executive networking and strategic business engagement, and that Miami provides the accessibility, business environment and hospitality infrastructure to support the next phase of the event’s growth. Miami’s extensive international flight network and direct links to major markets across Europe and beyond are expected to reduce travel barriers and help attract a broader mix of exhibitors, speakers and attendees.
The new location is expected to strengthen CPHI Americas’ ability to draw a diverse international audience across the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare sectors. As a major business and leisure destination, Miami offers year-round warm weather, beachfront accommodations and meeting spaces, extensive hotel capacity, and a wide range of restaurants and entertainment options, which organizers say encourage longer stays and additional informal networking and business meetings outside the formal program.
South Florida’s emergence as a healthcare innovation hub, attracting healthcare investors, medtech organizations, biotechnology companies and international stakeholders, aligns with CPHI Americas’ mission of connecting industry leaders, advancing innovation and facilitating strategic partnerships across the pharmaceutical value chain. Miami’s appeal to private equity firms, venture capital groups, healthcare investors and international business organizations is expected to support increased participation from pharmaceutical executives, investors and senior decision-makers.
The move supports CPHI Americas’ strategy to deliver a more premium event experience centered on contract development and manufacturing organizations, outsourcing, artificial intelligence, regulatory strategy and executive networking. The 2027 edition will take place May 25–26 at the Miami Convention Center, with further details to be announced; interested participants can already register their interest for the show. CPHI Americas is described as a leading pharmaceutical industry event that convenes manufacturers, suppliers, innovators, executives and solution providers from across the global pharmaceutical supply chain for networking, knowledge sharing and business development.
