This year’s conference is October 25-27 and NXLevel Compliance will be there, as usual. We’re excited to see our clients and colleagues and discuss how we can help reduce risk through better compliance training.

Also, Dan O’Connor, our senior VP, will be moderating a panel of CCOs on the topic of developing compliance leaders at 8:00 AM on Thursday the 26^th. Grab your coffee and breakfast and join them for ideas and practical approaches you can use to help develop your team and yourself.

Here are ten other sessions we find to be compelling, especially from a training perspective:

Mini Summit 1: Compliance Primer and How to Make the Most of Your Time at the PCF Congress
Although this session is tilted those new to life sciences compliance, expect it to be valuable for everyone as Terra Buckley shares tips for maximizing your learning and networking time at the conference.

Mini Summit 3: Insights from Medical Device Corporate Integrity Agreements
Corporate integrity agreements are sure to hold keys for the expectations of regulatory bodies such as the OIG and point to the appropriate focus for any medical device compliance training curriculum.

Mini Summit 5: The Latest in Social Media Enforcements
If you’re concerned about what your company’s employees might be posting or sharing (and you should be), you don’t miss this one. Side note: stop by our booth to see a demo of our new Social Media Matters Compliance Foundations module.

11:50 am Networking Luncheon In Exhibit Hall And Luncheon Mini Summits
You don’t want to miss the opportunity to network with the vendors, especially at Booth 212, where we’ll be sharing demos of our newest compliance training solutions, including our Compliance QuickTakes. Then head into Luncheon Mini Summit 23: Is the “No Patient Left Behind” Approach to Patient Support Programs Viable? to hear the tips for safeguarding against the risks inherent with patient programs.

Keynote: OIG Update
This year, Mary E. Riordan, Senior Counsel for the OIG, is joined by Robert K. DeConti, Chief Counsel to the Inspector General, so the annual look back at recent settlements and preview of the agency’s 2024 workplan should be even more enlightening.

US DOJ Keynote
Lisa Miller, Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice, is up next and just like the OIG presentation, this is a can’t miss session for anyone interested in knowing where the DOJ’s attention is focused, especially considering the updates to the agency’s Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs guidance in March of this year.

Prosecutor’s Roundtable
The prosecutor’s roundtable never disappoints in terms of the tips and suggestions panelists share regarding the government’s focus and what the industry should expect on the enforcement front.

Mini Summit 31: Annual FCPA Update
All is quiet on the FCPA front…or is it? Mark this one in your calendar to hear the latest in enforcement and trends, then plan to modify your 2024 global anti-corruption training accordingly. (We have a training module for that!)

Mini Summit 51: Compliance Experts Address Concerns on Emerging Risk Areas
We’re fast approaching the end of 2023 and the start of a new year of compliance training. New risks are emerging. This session should be a great starting point for your review process as panelists discuss the new topics you’ll want to emphasize in your curriculum.

Mini Summit 52: Compliance Considerations for Rare Disease
Sessions targeted to this growing segment of the industry can offer valuable content related to the training needs of that segment. Expect Tiffany Damiani from Insmed and Michael Hercz of Sentynl to do just that for the rare disease group.
