State of the FDA One Year In - Tomorrow's Comm Convo
|
Hi! Tomorrow we’ll be hosting the first T2B Comm Convo of 2026, focused on the state of the FDA one year into the current administration. While this topic may seem very specific, our speaker prep call reiterated that what’s happening at the FDA and adjacent government agencies right now, of course, goes well beyond this being a regulatory or government affairs issue... because it's also shaping how our decisions as communicators get framed, how risk is managed, and how we advise leadership. Comm Convo session details📅 Thursday, February 5th (tomorrow) T2B Pro & Student members (FREE): Log in to your account for your promo code. T2B Basic members ($40): RSVP here. What we’ll coverLongstanding FDA contacts have departed, internal workflows have changed, and updates from FDA, HHS, NIH, and CMS are coming faster and with less clarity than many of us are used to. This session brings together recently former FDA leaders who will speak candidly about their observations and experiences, including what has changed and how communicators can recalibrate their approach in response. Our guest speakers💬 Shannon P. Hatch, Former Deputy Assistant Commissioner for Media Affairs, FDA I'm looking forward to moderating, and I hope you can join us! Lynnea |
