FDLI's annual Enforcement, Litigation, and Compliance Conference puts FDA and DOJ officials on the same agenda as the industry and outside counsel who answer to them, across the drug, device, food and tobacco industries — and the 2026 edition runs in Washington, DC, with a virtual attendance option.

What it covers
The conference's own framing pairs FDA and DOJ speakers with industry and outside counsel on the latest trends and emerging issues in enforcement and compliance across drug, device, food and tobacco products — recent civil and criminal litigation, notable cases and settlements, and direct access to the officials making the calls. Independent law-firm previews of the same conference describe the same enforcement-and-litigation focus, consistent with FDLI's own program description.
Who should attend
In-house and outside counsel handling FDA enforcement correspondence, compliance and quality leaders managing consent decrees or warning-letter response, and regulatory affairs professionals who need a direct line on how enforcement priorities are shifting. The virtual option makes two days of DC programming reachable without the travel.
