Who should attend
Convergence is the general meeting of the US regulatory profession, and its breadth is the point: it serves the RA associate building a first regulatory plan and the VP deciding where a team’s training budget goes, across pharma, biologics and devices alike. If your work touches US submissions, FDA interaction or the mechanics of running a regulatory function, this is the one US meeting that assumes exactly that job. The preconference workshops (14-15 September) are the depth track — they are where the how-to content lives, and they book separately.
