Summer Scientific Forum




The AAPS Summer Scientific Forum

The AAPS Summer Scientific Forum makes AAPS the premier scientific convener of the pharmaceutical industry: breadth, depth, and quality science. Attend this meeting for depth in the latest bioanalysis or pharmaceutical analysis science and seize the opportunity to cross-connect with other scientists in shared high-level sessions focused on key regulatory issues facing these scientific areas.

The event’s symposia will be complemented by the Rapid Fire presentations and partner engagements AAPS conference attendees prefer. Networking events will bring together industry scientists, academicians, and regulators from across these disciplines.
