LONG BRANCH, N.J., Aug. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Over 500 attendees are already slated to attend Pharma ChemOutsourcing Show on September 8-9 in New Jersey.

The conference & exhibition continues to attract large numbers of sourcing managers from all the "Big Pharma" companies plus increasingly, dozens of mid-sized and smaller biotech companies. The preliminary attendee list is posted at http://www.chemoutsourcing.com/2008_attendees.php

Dr. Stefan Loren of Perceptive Life Sciences will deliver the keynote entitled "Is The Pharmaceutical Industry Exposing Itself to Unacceptable Risk Through Expanded Offshore Outsourcing?".

Hot topics in 2008 include:

-- API's & intermediates

-- Rising costs of sourcing in China

-- CRO/CMO performance metrics

-- Sourcing synthetic routes & process optimization
