Who should attend
This is the lawyers' room, and that is its value to regulatory professionals: the year's enforcement actions, litigation and administrative-law shifts are dissected by the people who argued them, with agency leadership responding in person. If your regulatory strategy has ever been rewritten by a court decision or a policy pivot, two days here — or the virtual track — is the efficient way to see the next one coming.
For the CGMP-and-quality conversation with FDA, the PDA/FDA Joint Regulatory Conference runs in September 2026 — the events directory lists every option we have verified.
