Previous Summit Attendees Have Said: 

"This was a great workshop! I learned a lot about the upcoming FDA single IRB guidelines and greatly appreciated the discussions. The Advarra Study Collaboration demo was great, and I learned that it would be very useful to organize feasibility activities and site engagement."

"What a valuable morning, spent discussing collaboration between sites, sponsors, and CROs. I've been working in the clinical trials arena for a number of years, and it always astounds me how much I can still learn from other perspectives. Thank you for hosting this event."
