In terms of the format of the conference, I have consulted with the Chairs of our various IATR committees and task forces and reviewed the post-conference surveys completed by IATR 2020 virtual conference attendees. The feedback received is that any future virtual conferences should be condensed in time - and not spread out over weeks or months. Mindful of the need for regulators and sponsors to conduct other business, with many who have already returned to workplaces as well, we will slightly change the format to space out the sessions a little more – to allow for more breaks and timeframes for attendees to conduct other business. We believe this will facilitate the learning experience, increase attendance and reduce stress for many of our members. But for the most part, we will be sticking with the format from last year’s conference, which worked very well, and the conference program can be accessed here. If you would like to attend, registration is now open for regulators and associate (industry) members, click here, and our sponsor menu can be accessed here.

Let’s all “Reboot” together, by attending IATR’s second-ever virtual conference, and just like new software upgrades, develop new and enhanced regulatory ideas that provide better compatibility with other regulatory modes, devices, and policy applications.
