Industry sessions

The EADV Industry Partners organise several sessions as an adjunct to the EADV Scientific Sessions. The industry sessions offer a unique opportunity to connect with key thought leaders, access information on emerging science and innovative approaches on a wide range of current medical topics.

Industry session types

The industry sessions are a valuable way to learn about new research, techniques or treatments in the field of dermatology and venereology. In addition, some sessions will focus on sharing information about new products, services and/or technologies available.

 

At the EADV Congress, two different types of industry sessions are organized:

Satellite Symposia

Satellite symposia are organised in the main session rooms and take place during the morning, lunch and in the evening, after the scientific sessions. These sessions last between 45, 60 and 90 minutes and offer a wider education on the presented topic to remain updated on any progression in the field.

Industry Expert Hubs

Industry expert hubs last 45 minutes and are focused on bringing together a smaller group of experts to discuss more in-depth or to focus on a specific topic.

Industry sessions programme

The industry session organiser is solely responsible for keeping any of its industry sessions activities compliant with all relevant laws and regulations. EADV is not involved with in or have any control over the content, quality, organization, operation, scientific integrity of the activity and materials. EADV will not be involved in the selection of speakers, moderators and other faculty.

The industry session programme booklet will be available here at a later stage!

Healthcare Professional definition

  1. Important note to Healthcare and Non-Healthcare Professionals

    Access to the different areas and sessions of the Congress depends on the Healthcare Professional status.

    As a multidisciplinary audience will attend the EADV Congress, the EADV will assign different classes to Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) and Non-Healthcare Professionals (non-HCPs) to ensure compliance with the French Les Entreprises du Medicament (Leem) Rules of Professional Conduct (Dispositions Deontologiques Professionnelles (DDP)).

    Specifically, HCPs are classified into the following groups: medical doctors, nursing and midwifery professionals, dentists, pharmacists, professionals involved in rehabilitation, and technical paramedical professionals.

    Please read the description below to ensure that you (or your delegates) comply with the regulations in place.

EADV members are not automatically considered Healthcare Professionals

Please select the correct status (HCP or non-HCP) during registration.

  1. Definition
    The DDP code defines HCPs as follows:
    “Healthcare Professional: An individual who is a member of a healthcare profession regulated by the French Public Health Code, regardless of whether he or she is a civil servant or public official, or any other person practising in France who, in the course of his/her professional activities, may prescribe, purchase, dispense, recommend or administer a Medicinal Product. This definition does not apply to Healthcare Professionals employed by Companies, wholesalers or distributors, excluding those whose primary occupation is that of a practising Healthcare Professional.”

    Medical students     are not considered Healthcare Professionals under the current guidelines and will be automatically classified as Non-Healthcare Professionals.
  1. Industry sessions
    Satellite Symposia and Industry Hub Sessions presenting data on the development, research, or other issues related to prescription medicine is restricted to Healthcare Professionals and Industry Participants as indicated by the Industry Session Organizer.
    All promotional materials and marketing aids related to these industry sessions should be strictly limited to HCPs.

    Industry Session organisers can limit participation to certain representative groups independently from the EADV recommendations if deemed imperative to achieving the session’s intended purpose. The organising company reserves the right to refuse single categories, particularly if they are not adequately related to the session’s objective and purpose.

    The industry session organiser is responsible for compliance with the session.
