Overview

Attendees will have the opportunity to consult with the instructor during breaks and after hours on specific issues relative to seminar content and for two days we will review and discuss the most recent enforcement trends and common red-flags and triggers. The seminar will provide attendees with a better understanding of responsibilities and gain a greater knowledge of the issues faced which can affect common marketing and promotional activities on behalf of their companies. Participants will have an excellent understanding of the laws and policies and certainly FDA expectations affecting advertising, marketing and promotion, and the manner of their application in real practice. You will be better able to develop marketing and advertising programs and avoid issues which regulatory agencies, like FDA, continually review and certainly by establishing proactive strategies to mitigate compliance exposure. Attendees are encouraged to bring “real-life” examples to the seminar for interactive group discussion and benchmarking and address compliance solutions that work
