The 2012 PDA/FDA Joint Regulatory Conference offers the unique opportunity for you to join FDA representatives and industry experts in face-to-face dialogues. Each year, FDA speakers provide updates on the current state of efforts impacting the development of global regulatory strategies; while industry professionals from some of today's leading pharmaceutical companies present case studies on how they employ global strategies in their daily processes.

Hear directly from FDA experts and representatives of global regulatory authorities, and take home best practices for compliance.

In the recent past there have been several recalls and increasing concerns about pharmaceutical glass packaging, both with regard to defects and/or incompatibilities with finished product over the shelf life. Pharmaceutical manufacturers, regulators, and glass suppliers all share a common goal of assuring the highest quality products (including packaging) for patients. This meeting will discuss these issues; best practice to preventing and/or detecting at risk glass packaging; and review current expectations to ensure that recalls are avoided and container closure integrity is assured.

All prices in US dollars.
