New Orleans, Louisiana -- Thursday, February 20 4:00 PM to Saturday, February 22 Noon
Please join us at the Site Council Leadership Forum, the industry’s first meeting for senior leaders from independent sites, site networks, and health systems. Even a single insight, practical tip, or new relationship could have strategic consequences for your enterprise.
Discuss the strategic topics that matter most to you with 100 site leaders (e.g., presidents, site directors, deans and clinical trials office directors) plus experts from study sponsors, CROs and solution providers.
Not a senior executive or can’t attend in person? Join the live event remotely on Zoom. Two roving video cameras with sound will put you in the middle of the action. (Remote participants will interact among themselves but not with in-person attendees. To encourage in-person attendees to speak freely, recordings will not be available.)
