Join us in NYC for the life sciences industry’s premier products liability conference.

For 28 years, ACI’s “Drug and Med” conference has brought together hundreds of products liability defense stakeholders from industry, private practice, and government to network, collaborate, and strategize on the current products liability landscape as well as to anticipate what is next on the horizon.

Our esteemed 2023 faculty will provide invaluable information on the potential impact of newly proposed MDL rule changes, overcoming the challenges of plaintiff census forms and registries, and how new Rule 702 amendments will impact future strategies for offering expert testimony.

Through our sophisticated panels, you will also gain insights on how the recent Supreme Court session may impact future preemption battles, as well as tactical tools for combatting “non-traditional” liability claims, bet-the-company litigations, and the increasing liability risks associated with new, cutting edge MedTech.
