About this years conference:

This year's conference will look to address the critical subject of improving relationships between Pharma & CROs and how they can work best together to improve drug development and clinical trials.

With the increasing reliance on positive and profitable relationships between these organisations, this conference will aim to bring you opinions, recommendations and case studies from both sides.

This year's programme will look to focus on 5 main areas: Optimising interaction between sponsors and CROs, Developing and executing strategic partnership models, Partner selection, Risk management and Improving communication.

Each session will be addressed by speakers with considerable experience in the field and will address the current issues and proposed solutions faced in each situation.
