Why it is worth the trip
DIA's positioning is neutrality: the programme puts European regulators and HTA bodies on the platform alongside industry and patient organisations, which is unusual and is most of the reason people go. If your work touches EU regulatory policy, pharmacovigilance or market access, the value is in the room rather than the slides.
Who should attend
The programme’s defining feature — European regulators and HTA bodies on the same platform as industry and patient organisations — makes this the meeting for people whose work depends on how EU institutions actually think: regulatory strategists with EMA-facing portfolios, market-access and HTA teams, and policy leads. DIA’s reduced rates mark the rest of the intended room: students (€300), patients and patient advocates (€370), EMA-registered SMEs (€2,050) and young professionals under 32 (€1,090).

How is DIA Europe different from RAPS Convergence?
DIA Europe is European-facing and convenes regulators and HTA bodies alongside industry; RAPS Convergence is the US regulatory profession's flagship and is more practitioner-focused. Many teams attend both — see the full directory for dates.
