The agenda preview is out now!

Join this one-day interactive workshop prior to the 2023 PDA Universe of Pre-Filled Syringes and Injection Devices Conference, and join the discussion with industry experts on micro needle systems and wearable injection devices!

Overview

Dear Colleague,

We would like to invite you to the 2023 PDA The Future of Drug Delivery Workshop to take place on 16 October 2023.

As a prelude to the 20th PDA Universe of Prefilled Syringes and Injection Devices Conference in Gothenburg, this one-day workshop provides a useful context and perspective on the technologies, opportunities and realities of self-administered drug delivery devices which are not syringes and auto-injectors. This is entirely appropriate since the term 'Parenteral' on drug administration means non-oral, and not reliant upon the alimentary canal for delivery.

In a packed one-day program, acknowledged industry expert speakers will share experiences and insights on topics including the development, manufacture and regulatory aspects of self-administration delivery devices.

Leading figures in device usability assessment and clinicians with extensive experience in patient training will provide real-world examples and guidance on aligning the device with the patient's needs and preferences.

There will be a series of brief but highly informative 'deep dive' presentations by leading experts on key drug delivery technologies: wearable delivery devices, needle-free injection, and nasal delivery.

The day will include interactive roundtable sessions, a lively interactive questionnaire session and ample opportunity for Q&A discussions, including meeting the experts over lunch and coffee breaks.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Sincerely,
The Workshop Leaders
