About the conference

Held twice per annum, the Global GS1 Healthcare Conference is a key event for sharing information to the GS1 Healthcare community. Healthcare leaders from private industry and government agencies will present the progress of worldwide efforts to implement GS1 Standards that improve patient safety, supply chain security and efficiency.

Why should you join?

The three-day conference combines plenary sessions, implementation reality sessions – small work groups – working lunches, a networking event and gives the opportunity to attend site-visits of Danish stakeholders. The conference will take place a couple of weeks after the first U.S. FDA deadline which requires the unique identification of all class III medical devices sold in the U.S. Attend this conference and find out the latest news and first results of the U.S. FDA UDI, but also get the updates on UDI regulations from regulatory authorities and governments from around the world. Learn about different hospital implementations as well as healthcare traceability implementations, and hear how GS1 Standards can improve quality of care and reduce medication errors.
