Focus on the latest technological developments about Container Closure Integrity, Visual Inspection and worldwide regulatory directions

This conference is aiming at presenting, discussing and reviewing the present status of parenteral sterile drugs manufacturing and the focus is on three main topics:

  • Parenteral Packaging: evolving trends, industry perspective and CCI considerations
  • Visual Inspection of Parenterals
  • FDA Regulatory Update and PDA Insights

The program has been designed to present technological development by users and suppliers with a solid industrial experience and to provide a valuable feedback about PDA community current thinking.

This program will give a good balance between industry recent developments delivered by key opinion leaders and SME and also direct interactions at the supplier’s booths. The multidisciplinary nature of the conference as well as the unique interactive atmosphere of all PDA Italy Chapter events, are creating the real differentiating factors among other forum.

Beyond that, a unique opportunity is given to each and every exhibitor and a suitable time to present its product and service portfolio is available in the agenda.

Fernanda Ferrazin, Consultant and EX AIFA GMP Senior Inspector
