LAKEWOOD, NJ – March 7, 2005

Ihab Ghaly, Vice President, Sampling and Regulatory Affairs, and Dave Hammond, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, of J. Knipper and Company, Inc., will speak at CBI’s 5th Annual Forum on Sample Accountability in Princeton, NJ, on May 16-17, 2005.

Hammond and Ghaly will speak on “Leveraging Web-Based eSampling and Solutions to Enable Real-Time, Cost-Effective Drug Sample Management”.

“Ghaly and Hammond are very sought-after speakers on the range of Sample Accountability issues,” said James J. Knipper, CEO/President of the pharmaceutical marketing services company. “They are two of the reasons our company is a leader in Sample Accountability in the healthcare industry. They have been intimately involved in the development of our new purely paperless eSampling platform which allows manufacturers to increase their market share and brand penetration while reducing their direct costs through the use of a true electronic sampling system that is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant”.

Ghaly has over 14 years of managerial experience in sales and marketing, manufacturing, distribution, regulatory affairs, and QA. He is a member of the New Jersey Pharmaceutical Quality Control Association.

Hammond has over 25 years of experience in sales and senior management. He is a member of the board of directors of the PDMA Sharing Conference and the Healthcare Marketing < Communications Council.

Both Hammond and Ghaly are frequent speakers on pharmaceutical industry marketing trends and sample practices and have been interviewed in a number of pharmaceutical industry publications.

Knipper is an executive sponsor of the CBI conference, which is designed to utilize technology and best practices to build state and federal compliant programs. Attendees will hear case studies from prominent pharmaceutical companies and have the chance to network.
