FACT is a Proud Partner of Advanced Therapies Week

Posted in :: 2019 Volume 10 :: Thursday, October 31st, 2019

Advanced Therapies Week, which will take place January 20-24, 2020 in Miami, Florida, will raise public awareness and support innovation in advanced therapies. Its organizer, Phacilitate, initiated this global campaign in conjunction with the Regenerative Medicine Foundation to support three areas:

  1. Public engagement
  2. Technology innovation
  3. Workforce development

The week will begin with a public day on January 20 at the renowned Frost Science Museum, during which interactive “activation” tables will allow members of the public to immerse themselves in concepts related to advanced therapies.

From January 21-24, the Phacilitate Leaders World and World Stem Cell Summit conferences will offer a comprehensive program with diverse tracks that address many aspects of advanced therapies – from raising capital and streamlining manufacturing processes to clinical delivery to patients. As a partner of Advanced Therapies Week, FACT participated in the development of the agenda and encourages the cellular therapy community to attend. Phacilitate has generously extended a 15% discount off the registration fee to the FACT community. To take advantage of this offer, enter the discount code FACT15 when prompted by the online registration process.

FACT will host the second Regenerative Medicine InterCHANGE on January 24, the last day of Advanced Therapies Week. During this meeting, attendees nominated by and representing organizations involved in cellular therapies will discuss solutions to the challenges identified with the development, testing, and commercialization of novel cellular therapies. In 2018, 17 organizations with complementary missions discussed specific challenges and created a list of action items based on their related initiatives. This year, over 30 organizations with broad perspectives of novel cellular therapies are invited to discuss progress on those action items and form working groups for challenges not yet addressed.

Advanced Therapies Week will also include programming for women in advanced therapies, stem cell and regenerative medicine action awards, advanced therapies 101 for the nursing professional, and a yacht party to celebrate advances in the field. The International Society Cell & Gene Therapy (ISCT), one of FACT’s parent organizations, will also be hosting a Commercialization Signature Series event.
