Why this venue for a pharma insights conference
Whippany sits in Morris County’s pharmaceutical corridor, a few miles from Bayer’s Whippany campus and Novartis in East Hanover, and a short drive from the Parsippany–Troy Hills corporate offices. For market research, competitive intelligence, analytics, and commercial strategy leaders, that means the meeting is already in the neighborhood where many attendees work.
The Hanover Marriott Hotel is an 8-story, 353-room conference hotel just off I-287 at Route 10. The hotel publishes about 20,000 square feet of event space across 18 rooms, including a Grand Ballroom that seats up to 1,400 in theater setup. Keynotes, roundtables, and the exhibit hall stay on property, so you are not shuttling between an airport hotel and a separate convention center.
Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is about 22 miles and roughly 30 minutes by car. Manhattan is about 40 miles. The hotel does not run an airport shuttle, so plan a rental car, rideshare, or car service.
One building
Stay, sessions, and evening receptions are at the same hotel. That keeps hallway conversations going after the last session.
Pharma corridor
Morris County is home to major pharma, biotech, and diagnostics campuses. Local attendees can drive in; fly-in attendees land at EWR.
Executive format
EPIC is built for insights leaders, not a mass medical congress. A suburban conference hotel matches that smaller, peer-driven setting.
Reserve your room
- Book online with the EPIC group link: Book your room.
- Or call Marriott reservations at 1 (800) 228-9290 and ask for the Executive Pharma Insights Conference group rate.
- When booking online, enter your Marriott Bonvoy number for applicable points and benefits.
