Electronic submissions are going global, and the FDA is leading the way.

If you understand the FDA's requirements, you can satisfy any regulator worldwide. This two-day interactive workshop will bring you fully up to speed.

President Obama signed the FDA Innovation and Safety Act that, beginning October 1, 2012, mandates electronic submissions for INDs, NDAs, BLAs, ANDAs, DMFs, and all CDRH pre- and postapproval submissions.  Every day regulatory authorities across the globe are turning to electronic submissions as their new preferred format ... and the FDA is leading the way.

If you don't yet have your electronic submission process perfected, there's no time to lose.

Many drug, biologic and device companies can already measure the difference in dollars through increased first-time acceptance rates, shorter FDA review times, and yes, speed to market.

Your colleagues and competitors have already found the key.

You can, too, in the hands-on workshop that gives you the eCTD tools and tactics to satisfy any regulator worldwide.

Don't delay.  Register now and mark your calendar for Preparing for the New Electronic Submission Mandate on December 6-7, 2012, in Raleigh, NC.
