Cornpone,
there are a ton of universities in the US that do research for or with
pharmacuetical companies, and I would guess that pretty much all of
them have some sort of "professional meeting" with the industry from
time to time.
Can you provide some additional guidance to narrow down your question
a bit? Are you interested in knowing about conferences, say, where
academics and pharmacuetical types would both be in attendence (even
if the meeting ISN'T held at a university).
Let us know what would best suit your needs, and perhaps one of the
researchers here can provide you with the information you're loooking
for.

Background information: I work for a large international
pharmaceutical company in Colorado (Roche Colorado)in the R&D side as
an Information Specialist. Every year Roche sponsors a symposium with
the University of Colorado for chemist (PhD level) to exchange new
ideas about research regarding human pharmaceutical. These topics
include peptides, peptide synthesis,nucleoside, nucleotides & nuclelic
acides. Our company also does synthetic chemistry. Roche's big
achievement is producing effective drugs to treat HIV/AIDS patients.
We have other human drugs we are working on also.
I would like to find other companies that partner with universities to
conduct similiar kinds of symposiums. Also, I would like to include a
similar arrangement for symposiums that would be suitable for chemical
engineers and analytical chemists that work in the human
pharmaceutical industry at Roche.
I am interested in knowing about "conferences where academics and
human pharmacuetical types would be in attendance but would not
necessarily be held at a university". The types of conferences that
some of our staff are attending are more big companies pushing their
products and not the "grass roots" of good exchange of ideas that spur
learning, exchange of ideas and challenges.
I look forward to your response in the near future. If you require
more clarification, please contact me again.

Cornpone,
Thanks for the clarification. I'm still thinking through how to get
you the best focus of research-oriented meetings without all the
salesmanship that can often accompany them.
Please have a look at the list here:
http://www.pharmacy.org/conf.html
and let me know if these are the types of meetings that you think
would be of interest to you (not all of them are
chemical/drug-development focused, but a number of them are). If so,
I can probably provide a few more similar links to meetings calendars
and the like.
Thanks.
