Taking inspiration from the conference location in London, UK, this year’s conference theme is Mind the Gap: Connected by Quality.

Last year’s conference highlighted the need to focus on the connections between the parts in a process, project, or product. This year, the conference will offer delegates knowledge and tools to help them bridge gaps they may encounter in their day-to-day work. We welcome presentations that share ways to raise awareness, understanding and connection of gaps between, for example: 

• Regulations and Guidance

• Interpretation and Implementation

• Quality and Compliance

• Different Geographic Regions/Cultures

• Different Disciplines (i.e. different GxP areas)

• Different Organisation Types (regulators, sponsors, service providers, system providers, laboratories etc)

• Or any other areas you have encountered.

Streams will be based onn the selected abstracts.

Abstract forms

Please choose the form based on the type of session you intend to submit an abstract for:

• Presentation

• Panel

• Workshop.

DEADLINE: 17th March 2026

Submissions after this date will not be accepted. 

Session types

• Presentation: 45 minutes – Presentations should be 30-35 minutes in length to allow for audience Q&A after 

• Workshop: 90 minutes – Workshops should include some theory / background, a practical hands-on exercise, and a debrief. May be supported by up to 2 workshop leaders/facilitators 

• Panel discussion: 45 or 90 minutes (duration to indicate during abstract submission) – Each panel discussion should have a Moderator and 2-4 Panellists 

Submitting is straightforward: 

You’ll be asked to provide information about: 

• The speaker: name, email address, a bio for the delegate programme, etc. 

• Your proposed session: title, synopsis and learning objectives for the delegate programme, a fuller description to support your proposal (for committee / office use only), etc. 

• Logistics: some technical information to ensure the programme and venue can support your session 

Some tips for getting your abstract accepted: 

• ‘Hot topics’ are popular abstract topics. To reduce the risk of overlap with other abstracts: ask a specific question about the topic, highlight a specific challenge, or use a specific example to tell your story. What will you share that delegates can't get from reading available guidance or asking a search engine? 

• If you choose to use AI to help write your abstract, use it for inspiration but make sure your submission uses your personal voice, so you stand out and offer a unique perspective. 

• In the detailed submission overview, instead of saying “I will use real-world examples,” describe what one or more of those examples will be. 

We warmly welcome contributions from both experienced speakers and first-time presenters — if you have something valuable to share, we encourage you to submit!
