The DIA Annual Canadian Meeting will deliver a comprehensive overview of the current bio-pharma and device landscape in Canada, while sharing insights into Canada’s broader role in global health care product development. From policy updates and priorities shared directly from Health Canada, to sessions on international work sharing to key regulatory and clinical considerations for biologics and biosimilars, you will have the exclusive opportunity to address the current issues and opportunities in Canada and across the globe.

Bringing together key stakeholders from the pharmaceutical and device industries, regulatory agencies, and academia, this Meeting will analyze the relevant challenges and opportunities for professionals working in drug and device development in Canada.

This year’s meeting will feature preconference short courses, plenary sessions, multi-track breakout sessions tailored to the beginner, intermediate, and advanced level professional, and multiple networking opportunities.
