DIA is thrilled to announce our 2023 Latin America Annual Meeting (formerly known as Latin America Regulatory Conference) that will include opportunities for networking and knowledge sharing with key stakeholders influencing the advancement and implementation of initiatives in Latin America and the Caribbean. This new meeting expands in scope from our previous meetings discussing topics relating to the Latin America region, and presents the following three tracks: Regulatory, Clinical and Pharmacovigilance. Cross-track sessions provide the opportunity to discuss key connection points across major components of regulatory, clinical and pharmacovigilance initiatives, efforts and collaboration within these functional areas in an organization or company. Join us to discuss multi-regional cooperation, global harmonization, lessons learned, and best practices to stimulate discussion and foster collaboration amongst stakeholders in Latin America and the Caribbean. Join regulators from World Health Organization (WHO), ANVISA, Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Instituto de Salud Pública de Chile, National Directorate of Medicines, El Salvador, Ministry of Health of Costa Rica, Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA), Health Canada and more.

Registered attendees will receive access to all session recordings for 2 full months post-conference! This allows you to remain flexible with your schedule and not worry if you need to miss a session. Have a conflict with the dates of the conference? Register anyway and you will receive access to the recordings!
