FDLI is pleased to invite members to a virtual “Author Happy Hour” to discuss the Update magazine article, “Bad News for Device Sponsors: Panel Meetings were Already Going the Way of the Homework Assignment, and COVID Might ‘Put the Nail in the Coffin.’” Join Hogan Lovells US LLP author Kristin Zielinski Duggan and your peers in the food and drug law community to discuss FDA’s advisory panel meetings to review new medical devices, the shift to written responses by outside experts and virtual panels, and the subsequent impacts to manufacturers. Be prepared to ask the author questions and engage in a dialogue on these and other topics presented in the article, all while enjoying your favorite beverage. This member-only benefit will be limited to twenty attendees to encourage active dialogue in a virtual setting.
