# What are the different formal FDA meeting formats?

There are three meeting formats for the formal FDA meeting types. They include:

1. Face-to-Face Interactions
2. Teleconference Meetings
3. Written Response Only

Note: The FDA now considers “face-to-face” meetings to include “in-person meetings and virtual meetings on IT platforms that allow for both audio and visual communication.” Therefore, for the INTERACT and Pre-IND sections in this playbook, we focus on teleconference and written response options. Please refer to the latest guidance, [Update on In-Person Face-to-Face Formal Meetings with the FDA *(fda.gov)*](https://www.fda.gov/industry/prescription-drug-user-fee-amendments/update-person-face-face-formal-meetings-fda#%3A%7E%3Atext%3DThis%20update%20clarifies%20that%20a%2Cor%20virtual%20with%20cameras%20on) for more information.
