The DIA Global Annual Meeting is the Drug Information Association's worldwide flagship, and one of the few large meetings that puts regulators, industry, academics and patient advocates in the same programme rather than in separate rooms. The 2027 edition runs 28 June to 1 July in San Diego, California.

Global or Europe?
DIA runs two flagships and they are not interchangeable. This one is the worldwide meeting, held in the US and weighted towards FDA and global development. DIA Europe 2027 in Basel is the European counterpart, and its draw is the presence of EU regulators and HTA bodies. Teams with both US and EU programmes commonly attend both; teams with one usually pick the matching meeting.
Who should attend
This is the worldwide counterpart to DIA Europe, held in the US and weighted toward FDA and global development — the natural choice for regulatory, clinical and safety professionals whose portfolios span regions, and for anyone whose 2027 question is global strategy rather than a single market. DIA prices member and non-member rates across industry and academic/government tiers, with group registration for teams of five or more — it is built for delegations as much as individuals.
Also on the calendar: RAPS Convergence 2026 in September and The MedTech Conference 2026 in October. The full events directory lists everything we have verified.
