VALIDATION TALK 2026

... for more drive in everyday validation work

Current developments and trends in the GxP field

On June 8, 2026, validation experts and users from the life sciences sector came together to share lessons learned and present new approaches. The event focused on practical solutions that stand the test of time in a complex and highly regulated environment.

We would like to thank all speakers, guests, and online participants for the inspiring exchange. As always, it was a lot of fun!
