Call for Speakers

We not just talking about Annex 15 compliance - we are rethinking its potential as a catalyst for innovation, operational excellence, and smarter validation systems.

We are looking for fresh perspectives on questions like:

• How can Annex 15 become a framework for operational excellence, not just regulatory fulfillment?

• How do we shift from reactive validation to proactive, risk-based lifecycle management?

• What’s the real role of digitalisation, AI, and platform technologies in modern validation strategy?

Whether your experience lies in manufacturing, quality, compliance, tech transfer, or regulatory affairs, we invite you to share a story, solution, or learning journey that pushes the conversation forward.
