opportunities.

In conjunction with Rondaxe Pharma, the Pharma Exchange Conference, to be
held at the Hilton Milwaukee City Center, will focus on acceleration through
collaboration of company leaders, investors, legislators and others industry
drivers to connect with the resources needed to succeed in the highly skilled
and fast-growing Midwest chemical market. The one-day event will run from 9am

participants. The reception will provide attendees with an additional
opportunity to network with legislators, academics and other local
influencers.

"Milwaukee was a natural choice for the location of the first Pharma
Exchange Conference as chemical manufacturing is integral to economic
development in Wisconsin," commented Jennifer Jessup, Global Brand Director,
Informex. Chemistry companies in Wisconsin directly employ over 15,000 people
and indirectly contribute nearly 43,000 jobs to the economy.* Jessup further
states, "The Midwest highly values the pharmaceutical industry and we are
delighted to be able to provide a forum for local influencers to gather to
enhance the region and their individual businesses. We hope that once this
inaugural event takes place, it will be the catalyst for further networking
by and within the region."
