FDLI’s 2020 Annual Conference Goes Virtual!
FDLI is excited to provide the key industry updates and the opportunity to connect with the food and drug law community that you have come to expect from the Annual Conference, just in a virtual format. While we will miss seeing each other in person, a virtual format allows the whole food and drug law community to participate regardless of safety concerns, location, time zone, or budget constraints.
We look forward to hosting an array of experts from the federal government, industry, the private bar, non-profits, patient and consumer advocates, and academia over the span of three shortened days to address the complex legal, regulatory, compliance, and policy issues currently impacting all facets of FDA-regulated industry. Please note that all tobacco topics will be covered in the Tobacco Conference also being held in October.
