Introduction:
The RAPS Regulatory Intelligence Conference Europe is designed to empower regulatory affairs professionals to navigate today’s complex, rapidly evolving regulatory environment through the effective use of regulatory intelligence. Structured for healthcare regulatory professionals across all sectors, the conference focuses on best practices for tracking, gathering, analyzing, and transforming immense amounts of regulatory information into actionable intelligence. Supporting stronger strategic decision-making, increased compliance, and faster market access across Europe.
Whether you are responsible for monitoring regulatory change, creating global or EU-specific strategies, or reducing risk through data-driven insights, this conference brings together regulatory leaders and peers to explore cutting-edge approaches to regulatory intelligence.
Are you a regulatory affairs professional looking for strategic, actionable, and innovative regulatory content? Join the conversation to exchange practical strategies, challenge conventional thinking, and build the skills needed to anticipate and manage change to make smarter regulatory decisions.
Gert Bos will be present both days of the event and starts by moderating the plenary opening. There, with two other panelists, he will discuss what regulatory intelligence is and why it is important and relevant for compliance and how to demonstrate its value. The session also dives into the fear of human replacement and how to break it.
Session Details:
- Session Title: Opening Plenary - Regulatory Intelligence: Compliance, Value, and Human Impact

On the second day of the event, Gert Bos will moderate a session that covers the evolvement of regulatory intelligence - and more specifically - the psychological foundations of regulatory expertise: human judgment, contextual understanding, lived experience of risk, and personal accountability. In this AI accelerated environment with emerging digital systems - we will discuss how human expertise does not disappear, but becomes more exposed and more consequential. By the end of the session, attendees will be better equipped to redefine their professional value, no longer by competing with AI, but by consciously embodying the psychological expertise that remains uniquely human.
