Each year, dozens of conferences and meetings are held to discuss specific challenges within clinical trials. Many events are tactical in nature, focusing independently on topics ranging from financing approaches, protocol design, partnering models between sponsors and clinical trial sites, technology trade shows, etc. By focusing on narrow aspects of clinical trials, past conferences have not effectively taken the necessary high-level, systemic view needed to identify innovations that can leapfrog inefficiencies in clinical trials.
The Conference Forum is presenting the 3rd Annual Disruptive Innovations to Advance Clinical Trials event. This conference is designed for drug development innovative thinkers who are determined to re-invent clinical trials. It is an outcomes-focused program that not only delves deeply into the key strategic factors impeding clinical trial productivity, but also connects change makers who can share current solutions, propose new solutions and commit to testing them and share the results. This conference is designed to be engaging in a highly informative format, similar to the style of TED events.
Focus & Objectives• This is a TED-style event showcasing innovations and
leading practioners in Pharma R&D with a focus on clinical research as well as innovative leaders from other industries.
• We strive to underscore the promise and challenge of innovation in advancing drug development.
• We strive to innovate a new model and find collaborations to get therapeutics to patients faster.
• We address how we can better apply the full spectrum of clinical research options and utilize insights more appropriately.
• We are dedicated to designing creative solutions and finding a way to implement them.
