In a very wintery Edinburgh, it was great to return to the conference in person with an attendee list even larger than pre-pandemic. As always, there was a wealth of insight and information shared particularly surrounding key topics of sustainability and usability in the inhalation space.
Particular stand-out posters and tech-talks for us surrounded the topics of;
Witnessing how these key themes develop and combine in 2023 and beyond to influence inhalation as well as other drug delivery spaces is an exciting prospect – one that we look forward to playing a part of in projects here at Haughton Design.
Although virtual events have been a great substitute in circumstances where face-to-face hasn’t been possible, there’s nothing quite like in-person events which allow for much more opportunity for impromptu conversations and knowledge sharing. To add to this, it was great to see some of the equipment and devices that we’ve developed being exhibited and well received.
This year’s DDL was filled with high quality speakers, exhibitors, and posters. If you weren’t able to attend the conference, we’d love to catch up and discuss how our design team could help accelerate your device development projects – please get in touch.
