    Hello, has anyone attended other conferences (besides RAPs) that are geared towards regulatory proffesionals that they can/would recommend? TIA

    I can highly recommend conferences sponsored by the Food and Drug Law Institute. This organization is geared toward the lawyers that practice FDA law. The regulatory profession does not exist without FDA law and regulations.

    Not sure what area is your area of interest but there is a series of conferences co-sponsored by RAPS and AFDO and FDA that may be well worth your time. Those organizations picked up the Xavier Health Conferences that Xavier University and FDA had conducted for a number of years. Xavier University was no longer able to support them and RAPS and AFDO decided they were too valuable to loose. 

    FDA is a major supporter of the MedCon medical device conference, the Combination Products Conference, and an AI conference. There may be others as well. I was at MedCon last week and it was well worth my time. FDA was a key participant and provided a number of staff for presentations on a number of topics.  And not just from US, we had international sessions as well with presenters from the EU and Brazil in sessions I attended  

    I was at last year's Combination Products Conference and had a similar experience. The Conference Committees supporting these conferences are all industry and regulatory leaders and work to make sure that you receive great value in attending. Lots of opportunities to meet these key people in an informal and relaxed atmosphere where you can freely discuss your questions and concerns. 

    Watch for the next one in your area of interest and try it out. I think you will be glad you attended.

    Hello,

    I would also highly recommend DIA (Drug Information Association) which has a large regulatory presence.
