TÜV SÜD continues its successful live webinar series on MDR, IVDR and testing services

When the first TÜV SÜD Digital Dialogues were planned and held last year, the event organisers could not have predicted that the continuing Covid-19 pandemic would force this year’s event to keep the digital-only format – or how enormously popular this format would become. Given this, TÜV SÜD decided to launch Volume 2 of the Digital Dialogues. From 17 to 20 May 2021, interested parties can once more directly access the consolidated knowledge of the experts from TÜV SÜD. The testing, inspection and certification organisation is repeating its online format, which fosters exchanges of ideas and experience while optimising participants’ time and effort.

Over four days, TÜV SÜD will present a series of 14 different live webinars addressing the most challenging issues of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR), In-Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR) and testing and certification services. TÜV SÜD’s global network, comprising experienced medical doctors, engineers, chemists and biologists, offers significant added value on the international medtech market. From experience, we know that medtech questions related to testing, certification and approval are best clarified directly in face-to-face meetings with experts in the field. Like last year, participants on all four days will again have the possibility to discuss their specific needs and objectives in virtual one-to-one meetings.

Digital Dialogues Vol. 2 is another valuable event for all manufacturers, regulators and quality, product development and IT professionals in the health and medical-device industry who are seeking to drive innovation and lead the market.

On each of its four days, Digital Dialogues Vol.2 will offer several online webinars. To give participants maximum flexibility in their planning, the sessions will be held in the mornings from 8:30 am and repeated in the afternoons from 4:30 pm (CET). All webinars are held in English and are free of charge.
