On November 5 and 6, 2026, RAPS brings regulatory professionals to Barcelona to look at what artificial intelligence is doing to regulatory work. Entourage is there on both days.
Entourage Editorial Team
November 5 and 6, Novotel Barcelona City
We are there on both days.
The RAPS AI in Regulatory Conference takes place on November 5 and 6, 2026, at the Novotel Barcelona City, with a preconference workshop on November 4. It is a new event in the RAPS Conference Series, developed and curated by the RAPS European Council, and it asks a single question: what is artificial intelligence doing to regulatory work across the MedTech product life cycle.
The format is deliberately small. Instead of a trade fair floor, the conference runs interactive breakout sessions for mid to advanced regulatory professionals. That makes it a place for conversations rather than for booth traffic.
RAPS AI in Regulatory Conference: November 5 and 6, 2026, Novotel Barcelona City, Barcelona. Entourage is on site on both days. Find us at tabletop 5, Floor -1.
Why We Are There
Entourage supports manufacturers of medical devices and in vitro diagnostics through approval and post-market surveillance. Where AI enters that work, two sets of rules meet: the MDR or IVDR on one side and the EU AI Act on the other. Our practice sits at that intersection, so this is our conversation.
We are bringing the question of what your notified body will need to see, and what of your existing documentation already answers it. And we are coming with a partner: we will share who it is very soon.
Our Focus: Post-Market Surveillance
On Thursday, November 5, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m., we present a case study in the World Café, as part of the AI Tool Use Case Study Session. Our topic is post-market surveillance.
Meet Us on Site
Find us at tabletop 5, Floor -1, on both conference days, where the coffee breaks and lunch take place. Dr. Jennifer Neff and Dominik M. Aumer are there for you. Give us your keyword in advance, an upcoming filing or an open classification question, and the conversation starts at the substance. The form below is all it takes.
RAPS publishes the full program on the conference website.
