All of the posters will be on view in the poster exhibition, which along with the technology exhibition, will be available for viewing throughout the day. The organizers anticipate that approximately 45-50 posters will be accepted, and about 60 exhibitors are expected to participate. The exhibition space is being reconfigured this year In order to accommodate new exhibitors who will be participating in RDD Europe for the first time.
In addition to the podium sessions, the RDD Europe 2017 program offers delegates the opportunity to attend up to 3 of 12 interactive 60-minute workshops offered by companies that provide products and services to OINDP developers and manufacturers.
One major trend among the workshop options is the topic of connected devices, with workshops titled, “The New Future – Introducing the Next Generation pMDI” from 3M Drug Delivery Systems; “Using Connected pMDIs to Monitor Inhaler Use and Drive Better Quality of Care” from Aptar Pharma and Propeller Health; “Realizing the Benefits of Connected Health in Respiratory Drug Delivery” from Phillips-Medisize; and “Smart Inhalers of the Future” from H&T Presspart and Cohero Health.
Novel techniques for assessing formulations in development are another trend in the workshops, with Capsugel offering a workshop titled, “Engineered Particle Platform for Rapid Assessment of Inhaled Formulations: In Vitro and In Vivo Correlations”; FLUIDDA presenting a workshop titled, “Functional Respiratory Imaging (FRI): Assessment of Lung Health to Optimize Respiratory Drug Delivery”; and Proveris Scientific’s workshop, “Using a Novel Rapid Screening Technique to Streamline pMDI Formulation and Device Development.”
Networking opportunities during the meeting include an opening cocktail reception on the evening of April 25, refreshment and lunch breaks in the poster and technology exhibition areas, and a gala dinner at the Palm Beach in Cannes on the evening on April 27.
