Are you planning to attend the WCBP Symposium and interested in getting more involved? Help build the conversation to address the role of current and emerging CMC analytical technology among evolving US and international regulatory perspectives by participating in one of the many volunteer opportunities available. The following opportunities will be available:

• Diverse Voices: Sunrise Chats Presenters
  • We are seeking a diverse group of early-, mid-, and late-career professionals to share stories about the experiences that shaped their career path. This is an all-inclusive session designed to inspire and encourage the audience through the presenter’s use of personal anecdotes and storytelling. 
• Mini-case Facilitators
  • Co-facilitators are assigned to collaborate with each other, write an abstract, and develop 2-5 discussion questions for the assigned topic. Typically, 2-3 total co-facilitators present the case study and discuss it with the attendees. 
• Mobile App Help Desk 
  • The mobile app desk volunteers will be trained in how to use and navigate the Symposium mobile app. From there, they will assist the CASSS liaisons in answering attendees’ questions regarding the mobile app. 
• Roundtable Scribes
  • During the roundtable session, scribes are tasked with taking notes to document the roundtable discussion. A week after the symposium concludes, the scribes will send their notes to the CASSS liaison for posting on the CASSS website.
• Roundtable Facilitators
  • Facilitators are assigned to write an abstract and 2-5 discussion questions for the table topic. During the roundtable session, the facilitator will lead the discussion.

Typically, there are four (4) Co-Leads assigned to each topic, and there will be 12 topics total in the WCBP 2025 program.
