QA Resolutions

Objectives

This Conference is designed by QPs for QPs as an international Expert Forum with focus on sharing information and experience and on discussing the critical areas of the QP's daily work.

Background

In the last nine years, the European QP Association Forum has been becoming a major event for European Qualified Persons.
Speakers from EMA, FDA and various national authorities as well as QPs have been sharing their view of roles and responsibilities of the Qualified Person.
Hoping to continue the success of this unique Forum, the Advisory Board of the QP Association has set up the programme at hand for the 10th QP Forum to give you an update about recent developments and important matters to consider. Representatives from the authorities as well as QPs and well-known experts will present latest issues and share their point of view. During the three pre-conference sessions and the six parallel sessions at the Forum, various case studies will be presented and discussed to come up with possible solutions.

Make use of this event by exchanging experiences with your colleagues and by establishing informal contact and networking.

I would like to invite you to this outstanding event, and I look forward to meeting you.

Best regards,
Richard M. Bonner
Chairman of the Qualified Person Association
