Conference attendees will also receive a complimentary registration to a webinar entitled "Risk-MaPP: What is it and Why You Need it!"

Risk-MaPP provides a scientific risk-based approach, based on ICH Q9, to manage the risk of cross contamination in order to achieve and maintain an appropriate balance between product quality and operator safety. If you are involved with multi-product facilities, the Guide is an essential tool in understanding and controlling the risk of cross contamination, while also protecting the operator.

Conference leaders Stephanie Wilkins, PE, President, PharmaConsult US Inc., and Bruce Naumann, PhD, DABT, Director Occupational Environmental Toxicology, Merck & Co., Inc., along with other Guide authors, will focus on the use of the logic diagram, how health based limits are developed, setting cleaning validation limits, risk assessments for cross contamination, and formulating a Quality Risk Management Plan as part of a Quality System. Attendees will hear directly from companies that have implemented Risk-MaPP principals in two case studies.
