RDD Online and Aptar Pharma, the joint organizers of this scientific conference are extremely pleased that the
audience found this year’s European meeting to be of outstanding quality with a record number of scientific posters.

Tenth Anniversary Celebration

RDD Europe celebrated its 10th anniversary in Antibes, although the parent US conference began in 1988.
Aptar Pharma has been part of RDD meetings from the outset, but in 2005 partnered with RDD to formally
lend its expertise in nasal and pulmonary drug administration and to increase the accessibility of the meeting
to international delegates. In Antibes, Aptar Pharma sponsored the gala dinner, providing attendees with an
additional opportunity to network and exchange views and information with their peers in a friendly and convivial atmosphere — another facet of this 3-day conference that sets RDD Europe apart from other events.

“Aptar Pharma is particularly proud of supporting, and being affiliated with, this major conference. The successful outcome of this tenth anniversary of RDD Europe and feedback from the delegates are a source of great satisfaction for all those involved“, stated Pierre Carlotti, Vice President Marketing and Communication at Aptar Pharma, Prescription, and Conference Coordinator at RDD Europe.

“The quality of the contributions this year was outstanding, reflecting major advances in our industry and the
importance of this conference, which brings together key players in the respiratory drug delivery sector“, added Dr Richard Dalby, one of the organizers from the University of Maryland.
