Who should attend
Aseptic processing is where regulatory scrutiny is at its most physical: smoke studies, interventions, gowning, and a contamination control strategy that must hold up in writing and on the floor. This meeting serves the engineers and microbiologists who run sterile operations and the quality and regulatory professionals who defend them — with EU Annex 1 expectations now the common reference point on both sides of the Atlantic.
For the broader CGMP dialogue with FDA, the PDA/FDA Joint Regulatory Conference precedes it in September 2026 — the events directory lists every option we have verified.
