PDA Europe convenes industry leaders and regulators for two days of case-study work on the hardest parts of EU GMP Annex 1 implementation, 1–2 December 2026, in Dublin, Ireland.

Connor Griggs Directory listing·Verified September 19, 2026

PDA Europe's Annex 1 Implementation Workshop brings sterile-manufacturing industry leaders and regulatory experts together for case-study-driven work on the hardest parts of putting the revised EU GMP Annex 1 into practice. The 2026 Europe Edition runs 1–2 December 2026 in the Blanchardstown Town Centre district of Dublin, Ireland.

Dates and venue

Dates: 1–2 December 2026
Venue: Blanchardstown Town Centre, Dublin, Ireland — PDA Europe's reserved hotel room block runs until 15 October 2026 (€189 single / €199 double per night)
Organizer: PDA Europe (Parenteral Drug Association)
Format: in person; PDA's page does not mention a virtual or hybrid option

What it covers

The workshop is built around case studies rather than lectures — PDA's own framing is 'active participation' with industry leaders and regulatory experts working through the most challenging aspects of EU GMP Annex 1 implementation together. Published topic areas include aseptic process simulations (APS) and designing, executing and interpreting meaningful media fills, barrier technology implementation, pre-use post-sterilization integrity testing (PUPSIT), and risk-based approaches to material transfer — the operational questions that come up once a site moves from reading the revised Annex 1 to actually running it on the floor.

Who should attend

Sterile manufacturing, microbiology and quality professionals responsible for Annex 1 gap assessments, contamination control strategies and inspection readiness, alongside regulatory affairs staff tracking how EU inspectors are applying the revised annex in practice. PDA also lists a separate 1.5-day US Edition of the same workshop at a different venue; this listing covers the Europe Edition in Dublin only.

Sterile manufacturing comes up elsewhere on this site too — see PDA's Pharmaceutical Microbiology Conference 2026 for the adjacent contamination-control agenda, or PDA's Visual Inspection Workshop 2026 for another hands-on case-study format, and the full events directory for everything we have verified.
