The Chromatographic (Analytical) Method Life Cycle (2026): From Cradle to Grave III / ChromSoc Spring Symposium - Day 1
Royal Society of Chemistry, London

We are delighted to invite you to the Spring Symposium 2026 on The Chromatographic (Analytical) Method Life Cycle (2026): From Cradle to Grave III co-organised by ChromSoc and JPAG. This exciting event will take place on 18 - 19 May 2026 at RSC Burlington House, London, UK. Like previous meetings, we anticipate the programme to include a full and exciting range of topics and speakers purposefully designed to facilitate delegate and exhibitor access to a wide range of scientists, many of whom are leaders in their field.

The meeting seeks to provide a clear insight into successful strategies in critical areas including:
- the new ICH Q14 and ICH Q2 guideline updates, and other guidelines/chapters such as the BP / JP chapters and the upcoming USP chapters <1220>, <1221> and <1225>.
- covering all stages, from method development and robustness using a range of separation techniques (LC, SFC, GC, CE), qualification and validation, transfer and continuous performance monitoring.
- analytical life-cycle management in the pharmaceutical industry and the latest regulatory expectations including AQbD and permitted chromatographic method changes according to the main pharmacopoeias.
- holistic Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD) framework for analytical procedure development and lifecycle management
- key elements of the enhanced approach described in ICH Q14 including Analytical Target Profile (ATP), Knowledge Management, Analytical Risk Assessment, Performance Monitoring, and how these are integrated into the holistic Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD) framework for analytical procedure development and lifecycle management.
- how to leverage a risk-based approach and balance between the benefits of post-approval flexibility and the resource investments required for implementation of the additional elements.
- proposed strategies to streamline analytical development, resulting in well-understood analytical methods, and simplify lifecycle management.
- environmental sustainability considerations and opportunities
- industry case studies on how to implement these advanced method development and lifecycle concepts in the context of a patient-centred approach and risk-based control strategies.
- aligning and strengthening the link between the quality attributes of a product and an analytical procedure
- minimising the risks of future changes and impact on the overall product control strategy.
- predictive modelling & digital tools and how industry needs to further strengthen the mindset and available skills in statistics.

Presentations will be delivered by highly regarded and experienced international speakers from industry, regulators and the chromatography industry who will share their knowledge and experience in applying and implementing the principles of AQbD. We believe the calibre of the speakers, combined with a fully integrated exhibition and vendor presentation programme, will deliver a highly interesting and well attended event. Ultimately the meeting will provide attendees with a quite unique means of sharing real experiences with other professionals and will provide excellent networking opportunities.

TESTIMONIALS...

Very enjoyable and thought-provoking day; going away with plenty of notes and specific items for discussion.

Excellent meeting, challenging and thought provoking. The organisation was excellent, thanks to all the efforts that JPAG team have made.

I have not attended a bad JPAG meeting yet. They are really good value for money and I really love to get the presentations as PDFs


I did appreciate receiving the slides before, as then I could print them and make notes around them during the symposium.

Getting an industry perspective on this topic was most helpful.

Fantastic to hear from NHS speaker, provides real insight to patient/clinician considerations that we don't necessarily see in industry.

Hearing the information from the clinical setting side was very useful.

Well organized. This was an amazing session. Prior sharing of the presentation was a great add on!

The most useful aspect of the webinar was the variety in the presentations across industry and the regulators. Really good to review the presentations beforehand.

Good value, well organised symposium. Always useful for focused topics.

A very good day. Enjoyed getting to speak to the presenters to discuss current challenges in industry.





JPAG plans and delivers events that address all aspects of pharmaceutical analysis and related facets of medicine control & registration.
