Dear Colleague,
Join us in Vienna for the PDA Virus Conference 2026, held under the theme “Expanding Scopes and Advancing Viral Safety.” This event brings together global experts and stakeholders to explore the latest developments in viral safety for biotechnology products.
Over two engaging days, leaders from industry, academia, and regulatory agencies will share insights on innovations, best practices, and lessons learned across virus testing, clearance strategies, and risk management, with a focus on accelerating processes while maintaining the highest standards of safety.
The 2026 Conference will feature thought-provoking keynotes and real-world case studies illustrating how cutting-edge science and operational experience combine to ensure robust viral safety. The two days will include regulatory updates, innovative approaches in virus clearance and testing to improve and accelerate processes, as well as discussions on viral safety in the context of new modalities and emerging challenges.
This year’s program will also highlight interactive focused discussions on recent trends in viral testing, innovative analytical approaches, and strategies for integrating new modalities into existing viral safety frameworks, reflecting the field’s rapid evolution and increasing complexity.
Participants can look forward to:
- In-depth technical sessions led by leading global experts
