Join Us at FDD Conclave 2026
#FDDConclave
March 6, 2026
11:00 AM onwards
Holiday Inn Mumbai International Airport
About the Event
Over the years, it has shaped meaningful conversations by bringing experts together to exchange ideas, debate challenges and track progress in formulation science and drug delivery.
However, new complexities, tighter timelines and higher expectations demand continuous learning and collaboration.
So, it is time to take this conversation beyond one annual event. Take FR&D closer to the scientists through focused, high-impact, city-level engagement.
Therefore, Express Pharma is launching a new, city-focused platform to bring formulation scientists together more often, more locally, and more meaningfully.
These city editions, an extension of the FDD Conclave, will create a space where more FR&D professionals can engage deeply over a full day, learn from peers, and contribute to the growing formulation science ecosystem, one city at a time.
And we are starting with Mumbai.
This is not just another event. It is the next chapter of India pharma’s FR&D journey.
Why Mumbai
Mumbai is one of India’s strongest pharma R&D ecosystems. It is home to leading formulation labs, R&D centres, CDMOs, CROs, and academic institutions.
The FDD Conclave: Mumbai Chapter moves FDD beyond a once-a-year conclave into an ongoing FR&D community. It will be held on March 6, 2026 at Mumbai.
Through a focused, day-long engagement, it enables in-depth discussions, practical insights, and stronger peer connections, driving real progress in formulation and drug delivery science.
What will the FDD Conclave: Mumbai Connect do:
Bring FR&D trends closer to where scientists work
Involve more FR&D professionals in meaningful dialogue
Create frequent, focused scientific interactions
