TOPRA Annual Symposium Working Party Chairman, Craig McCarthy said,
'While this is only a small sample of the outstanding schedule of speakers, presenters and facilitators that run across our three Symposia, there can be little doubt that this reflects the deepening and widening of TOPRA's influence on regulatory affairs in Europe. We are the pre-eminent Forum for regulatory professionals to share experiences and gain deeper insights from the leading voices in the industry, from national agencies and the extended European regulatory affairs network.'
