Past Life Sciences & GMP Forum Presentations, starting from the 1st Australian GMP Forum/National Validation Forum hosted by PharmOut in 2011, are available here. The GMP Forums and Validation Training conferences started out as a not-for-profit, PharmOut-facilitated event. This event was supported by the TGA for the first two years, after which it was picked up by local industry.
Support for the event has grown steadily each year. The Pharma & Device/GMP Forum conference now includes educational presentations & professional development sessions from local, interstate, and international experts in the life sciences. It is an important knowledge-sharing event for all types of life science professionals.
Attendees include CEOs, leaders of Australian and overseas pharmaceutical & medical device manufacturing companies, Biotech scientists, operations managers, quality managers, university researchers, validation engineers , cleanroom personnel, and other life science industry/GMP employees.
As the event has grown over the years, key industry Pharma & Device Conference Sponsors help support the event. Our Sponsors are able to attend the education sessions and network with key industry personnel in the Australian/New Zealand and Asia-Pacific regions. Cross-sector collaborations are encouraged and this event is a rare opportunity to connect with the life sciences community, peers, colleagues, and industry thought-leaders, helping to reduce the isolation of working in a cleanroom, biotech company, quality department or testing laboratory.
In 2025, we had attendees from over 9 different countries including Australia, the US, the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, New Zealand, Pakistan, and many other delegates. We had over 40 expert speakers, and welcomes ~250 attendees.
PharmOut has always had a proud knowledge-sharing culture. This free Presentations download’s page is an example of our dedication to upskilling the life sciences, medicines and medical devices manufacturing sectors. You can find & access prior GMP Forum & Pharma & Device Forum presentations (selected presentations pre-authorised for sharing online). That noted, the context of these presentations was only available by attending the conferences (GMP Forum & Validation Forums events) held in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Our mindset is that when more knowledge is made available, it gives rise to better-informed individuals who are then able to raise the standards in the life sciences industry.
These events help improve the Australian infrastructure and STEM workforce capacity in relation to pharmaceutical and device manufacturing, clinical research, laboratory testing, quality assurance, validation, cleanroom engineering, and sustainable and sovereign manufacturing.
This helps to ensure sustainable medicinal product supplies (including for critical medicines and devices) and manufacturing efficiencies. It also ensures the life sciences workforce understands regulatory compliance requirements in Australia (TGA regulatory compliance requirements) and key overseas Regulatory Authority requirements including for pharma & device exports to countries such as the US, Europe, UK, Germany, France and more.
