What it covers
The conference spotlights practical, real-world applications of AI that enable data-driven decision-making, increase efficiency and strengthen compliance within a complex global regulatory environment — spanning the MedTech product lifecycle from development through post-market. RAPS positions the program for mid-to-advanced regulatory affairs professionals rather than an introductory audience.
Who should attend
Regulatory affairs professionals in medical devices and diagnostics who are already working through AI's practical implications — in submissions, quality systems or post-market surveillance — and want strategic, actionable content rather than an introduction to the topic. The conference is developed and curated by the RAPS European Council (REC), the same body behind RAPS's other European programming.
RAPS runs this immediately after its Regulatory Intelligence Conference Europe, at the same Barcelona venue the two days before. It follows a similar arc to RAPS's own workshop on AI in medical device regulations earlier in the year; the full events directory lists everything we have verified.
