The Idea Behind This Breakfast

Clinical trials thrive on strong collaboration between Sponsors and investigational sites, yet the site perspective often remains underrepresented. By listening to site voices, Sponsors can design studies that reduce operational burden, improve efficiency, and enhance the patient experience.

To address these challenges, this exclusive breakfast meeting will bring together senior clinical operations professionals, site leaders, and patient engagement experts to foster open dialogue and idea exchange. Participants will have the opportunity to share best practices, explore real-world challenges, and collaborate on solutions that can reshape the Sponsor–site partnership model.
