Outsourcing in Clinical Trials Nordics 2019
22nd– 23rd October 2019, Copenhagen, Denmark
Arena International is delighted to announce we will be returning to Copenhagen on the 22nd and 23rd October for another superb year.
We will be welcoming more than 200 attendees from across the region for two days of engaging presentations from the biggest names in the sector.
The 2019 programme will look at how companies develop their outsourcing and clinical operations strategies. We will cover issues such as deciphering methods to preventing time delays and outlining a rational approach between third-parties and achieving greater patient centricity in trial operations. The region’s top pharmaceutical companies, biotechs, CROs and medical device companies will come together to share their insights into achieving successful clinical trials.
In 2019, the conference will be co-located with a brand new event: the Nordic Clinical Supply Meeting! Running alongside the OCT programme, the Clinical Supply Meeting will give attendees the opportunity to discover how they can accelerate their trial timelines and cut costs by reducing inefficiencies in their global supply chains. We will be exploring best practices in areas such as shipping and logistics, packaging and labelling and technology implementation to enable delegates to define an end-to-end, global clinical trial strategy.
We look forward to seeing you there!
