If you do the kind of law that we on the Blog do, you don’t want to miss this. Registration for the 2026 DRI Drug and Medical Device Seminar is officially open, and Early Bird pricing disappears on April 6. Waiting means paying more, up to $700 more, for the exact same experience. If this seminar is on your radar, now is the moment to lock in your spot.

A High‑Impact Program You’ll Feel in Your Practice

From May 20–22, at The Westin Copley Place, a AAA Four-Diamond hotel in the celebrated Back Bay neighborhood of Boston, you’ll dive into the issues shaping the future of drug and medical device litigation defense. Expect practical, immediately usable insights on Federal Rule of Evidence 702, expert challenges, global mass‑tort coordination, and emerging litigation trends like PFAS, ethylene oxide, and the rise of “clean pharma.” You’ll also hear directly from medical device General Counsel, in-house leaders, and regulatory voices offering the kind of candid perspective you simply can’t get anywhere else. You’ll even get to hear Bexis give a Ted talk.

Networking That Actually Moves You Forward

Let’s be honest: one of the biggest draws is the networking. This seminar consistently brings together the people who shape drug and device defense nationwide. You’ll connect with seasoned trial lawyers, corporate counsel, scientific experts, and peers who are tackling the same challenges you are. Whether you’re building new relationships or strengthening long-standing ones, the conversations you have here can genuinely shape your practice’s trajectory.

And with representatives from big companies like AbbVie, Becton Dickinson, GSK, Medtronic, Sanofi, and Stryker planning to attend, the opportunities to build meaningful professional connections are everywhere — from structured sessions to casual receptions.

Discount Ends in Just a Couple Weeks

Don’t wait! Once April 6 passes, so does your chance to save up to $700. Boston is calling and so is the seminar that could shape your year. Use this link to secure your spot while the best pricing is still on the table.
