Become a Sponsor and/or Exhibitor

Dear Colleagues,

Please be kindly invited to join this one-day workshop on visual inspection (VI) that will be held in Berlin, Germany on 03 December 2024.

This workshop is organized with the help of the PDA Visual Inspection Interest Group and will focus on current topics of practical interest to those responsible for VI in their companies or those who supply products or services in VI.

The agenda is designed to maximize discussion on hot topics related to visual inspection. Short expert presentations are provided to stimulate discussion followed by time for more extensive discussion. Participants can bring their relevant questions, challenges, and experience resulting in a diverse and practical exchange for each topic. This has proven very fruitful in the past and provides an opportunity to align the workshop with the specific interests of those who register and attend.

We have identified three topics for discussion this year:

  • Difficult to Inspect Products (DIP), especially ATMP/CGT Therapies
  • Challenges of Acceptance Sampling / AQL Inspection for Small Batches
  • A3P Particle Interest Group Update and Current Activities of A3P on VI

Expert speakers include John Shabushnig, from Insight Pharma Consulting, and Romain Veillon, from GSK. Each will provide an overview of the current state of the art and then moderate a discussion to advance our understanding of the topic and practical use of available technologies.

This is a great opportunity to network and learn from experts and colleagues who share the same interests and challenges as you. You may also want to take advantage of the training course offered immediately following the Workshop in the same venue. Both PDA An Introduction to Visual Inspection: A Hands-On Course and PDA Mastering Automated Visual Inspection will be taught on the days following the workshop in the same venue.

We look forward to welcoming you to Berlin this fall!

Sincerely,
The Workshop Co-Leaders
