The Oct 16, 2025 BPD Roundtable Dinner was nothing short of fantastic. From the first handshake during the networking hour to the last shared insight at the tables, the energy in the room was electric.
Before we even sat down for the roundtable sessions, the networking buzz filled the air — people exchanging stories, ideas, and experiences from every corner of biomanufacturing and process development. It was a powerful reminder of what happens when professionals with a shared passion for science and quality come together.
Dinner itself was outstanding — great food, great company, and the perfect setup for what came next: lively, high-impact roundtable discussions. Each table tackled its topic with depth, candor, and collaboration. The conversations were thought-provoking, the debates constructive, and the collective knowledge in the room was inspiring.
When it came time to report out, the highlights from each group reflected the real value of the evening:
- Fresh perspectives on today’s challenges in bioprocessing and CDMO partnerships
- Shared lessons learned on aligning quality, scalability, and innovation
- Common themes around culture, leadership, and continuous improvement
And of course — congratulations to the lucky winner of the gift basket filled with wine and gourmet treats!
A huge thank-you to the organizers, sponsor, and especially to everyone who came ready to engage, share, and learn. Events like this remind us that leadership in biomanufacturing is about more than processes and equipment — it’s about people, collaboration, and purpose.
If you couldn’t make it this time, don’t worry — the next opportunity to connect is just around the corner.
