13th Annual Event
EPPICon 2019

Hi Health Professional,

On behalf of EPPIC, I am happy to announce that the date for EPPICon 2019 is September 28, 2019. Early bird ticket prices run until August 31, 2019, at which time prices will go up.

This year’s EPPICon will examine “The Future Of Personalized Therapies”. Success stories in personalized therapies including gene therapy, cell therapy and use of digital solutions will be highlighted.

Our Influential speakers and panelists will share their vision for the future of personalized therapies and the key challenges in the field. We will announce the speakers as the program gets finalized. As always, they are the leaders and titans in their respective industries.

EPPICon this year moves to the beautiful Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California adjacent to the Hyatt Regency Hotel and across the street from Levi Stadium and Great America.

The festivities will begin on Friday evening, September 27, from 6 PM-9 PM with an invitation-only VIP dinner. The dinner is for all our esteemed speakers and panelists, our sponsor companies and our Charter Members. It gives all attendees a more intimate setting to network, ask questions and explore business opportunities with the influential leaders.

The conference will begin on Saturday morning at 9 AM and end at 5 PM. We’ll close with a reception with appetizers and drinks.

If you aren’t a Charter Member yet, then please check out all the details on the website. It’s a great time to consider becoming a charter member.

As a non-profit organization, we rely on Charter Memberships and our valuable Sponsors to keep us going throughout the year. So if you’re interested in one of the Sponsorship Opportunities please send me an email or give me a call to discuss before purchasing your tickets as a certain number is included in your packages. I’ll be happy to follow up with you.

We have also added a link on the website where you can download all the Sponsorship Opportunities.

We expect EPPICon 2019 will sell out based on last years attendance and the turn-out for our last two quarterly events that each had over 130 attendees.

Don’t wait!  Please get year tickets now!
