Dear Colleague,

Join us in Dublin for the PDA Visual Inspection Forum 2026, held under the motto “Inspect to Protect: Safeguarding Sterile Products Through Visual Inspection.” This event brings together the global community of visual inspection professionals to shape the future of parenteral product quality.

Over two inspiring days, experts from industry, academia, and health authorities will share the latest developments, success stories, and lessons learned across the entire visual inspection and particle control lifecycle, from early development through to commercial manufacturing.

The 2026 Forum will open with thought-provoking keynotes and real-world case studies highlighting how innovation, science, and experience drive reliable inspection outcomes. Sessions will dive into the top challenges in particle management, process optimization and efficiency, advances in automated and intelligent inspection, and emerging regulatory expectations.

This year’s program will also introduce speed sessions on recent trends, data-driven qualification strategies, and innovative training approaches, reflecting the industry’s accelerating shift toward digitalization, harmonization, and smarter inspection systems.

Participants can look forward to:

• In-depth technical sessions and lively discussions led by recognized global experts;
• Interactive poster walks and networking opportunities that connect peers and foster collaboration;

• A vibrant exhibition showcasing the latest technologies and solutions in the field.

Whether you are new to visual inspection or an experienced veteran, the PDA Visual Inspection Forum 2026 offers a unique opportunity to learn, connect, and contribute to the ongoing evolution of inspection science.

Be part of the conversation and help define what “excellence in inspection” looks like for the next generation.

We look forward to seeing you in Dublin!
