30th GQMA Annual Conference 2026, Potsdam - QFINITY

At the 30th GQMA Annual Conference, Frank Henrichmann (QFINITY) leads the workshop “AI in Computerized System Validation” – how AI, in particular large language models and generative AI-enabled tools, can be integrated across the entire CSV lifecycle, in line with GAMP 5 Second Edition and CSA. Friday, September 18, 2026, 11:05-11:50.

The 30th Annual Conference of the GQMA (German Quality Management Association) takes place on September 17-18, 2026 at the Dorint Hotel Potsdam and focuses on quality management in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries across all GxP areas – with parallel streams on IT, GMP, GxP, AI, GLP, GCP, and pharmacovigilance.

The workshop

In the AI/CSV workshop stream, Frank Henrichmann shows in practice how AI-enabled tools can already support the validation of computerized systems today – building on the ISPE article “How AI Will Transform Computerized System Validation.” Using a sample system and a generally available language model, participants work through, among others:

  • Structured capture, assessment, and mapping of requirements
  • Risk-based validation planning
  • Automated generation of test cases
  • Creation of traceability matrices

The discussion covers the limits and risks of using AI in validation, regulatory acceptance, the critical role of the “human in the loop,” and the shift in the validation team’s role – away from document handling toward “quality architects.”

The validation team’s role is shifting – away from pure document handling toward quality architects.

Speaker: Frank Henrichmann, Senior Executive Consultant at QFINITY and Chair of the global GAMP Steering Committee. Focus: IT; level: intermediate; presentation language: German. Registration from late April.

48th GAMP D-A-CH Forum 2026 Vienna - QFINITY

We are glad to be at the 48th GAMP D-A-CH Forum!

The forum of the ISPE D/A/CH GAMP Community of Practice takes place on September 9, 2026 at the NH Vienna Airport Conference Center in Schwechat near Vienna (SIG sessions the day before, September 8). It centers on computerized systems and their regulatory requirements in the life-sciences industry.

19th Official GAMP 5 Conference - December 8–9, 2026, Mannheim

At the 19th Official GAMP 5 Conference in Mannheim (December 8-9, 2026), Oliver Herrmann contributes in three ways: as co-moderator of a panel on the future of CSV, in the ISPE/GAMP/VDI update, and with his own talk on progressive, verifiable validation.

The conference takes place on December 8-9, 2026 at the Dorint Kongresshotel Mannheim (adjacent to the Congress Center Rosengarten); the official GAMP 5 pre-conference introductory training runs on December 7. A joint event of ISPE, APV, Concept Heidelberg and VDI/VDE-GMA.

QFINITY on the program

  • Panel discussion (Tue, December 8): “CSV at a turning point: Is our validation ready for digital reality?” – co-moderated with Alexander Kunz (Merck). Where does CSV really stand beyond SOPs, templates and project sign-off? Is classic CSV still enough, what does digital reality demand, what holds progress back – and what role does data governance play for the future of CSV?
  • “News from the ISPE / GAMP & VDI world” (Wed, December 9, 8:30): co-moderated with Stefan Münch – updates from VDI/VDE, GAMP D-A-CH, GAMP Europe and GAMP Global.
  • Talk (Wed, December 9): “Progressive CSV: How innovation becomes verifiable” – validation as a foundation rather than a sign-off, risk-based thinking as the steering logic.
