Global Forum for Qualified Persons for Pharmacovigilance (QPPV)

This Forum continues to be the ONLY conference designed by QPPVs, for QPPVs - uniting leaders, subject matter experts, and peers in a dedicated setting for open exchange, practical learning, and professional growth.

Perspectiva general

Marking 19 Years of QPPV Collaboration, Insight, and Progress

Now in its 19th year, the DIA Global QPPV Forum continues to be the only conference designed by QPPVs, for QPPVs—uniting leaders, subject matter experts, and peers from around the world in a dedicated setting for open exchange, practical learning, and professional growth.

More than just a conference, the Forum serves as a trusted environment where QPPVs can engage in meaningful discussions, reflect on evolving responsibilities, and strengthen their understanding of the systems that support patient safety. It is a uniquely neutral space where company affiliations take a back seat, titles are set aside, and participants can speak candidly confident that what is shared in the room, stays in the room.

As we look ahead to the Forum’s 20th anniversary in 2026, this year holds added significance. It offers a valuable opportunity to shape the ongoing development of the QPPV role and address the real-world challenges pharmacovigilance professionals face every day—together.
