The Conference Forum is pleased to announce a new collaboration with CenterWatch to present together for the first time a kick off 2016 strategic conference on finding better solutions to drive more efficient R&D operations, especially as it applies to outsourcing. The conference presents powerful ideas and challenges both R&D operations, CRO and Site executives to find new ways of collaborating. Collaborations is designed for senior level clinical operation executives from big, medium, small pharma, CROs and Sites.

Ken Getz, Director, Sponsored Research Programs, Tufts CSDD, is confirmed to co-chair the conference. Mr. Getz helps set the stage by providing a historical perspective on why we are no faster on average today than in the mid-90s at moving a drug through development and approval. He opens the program with a keynote on, “How the Drug Development Landscape is Changing and the Impact on R&D Operations,” thus setting the theme for the program. The opening keynote provides attendees with an opportunity to challenge and discuss the presented data and to work through solutions with fellow peers to tie them back into implementation.

The conference takes place January 25-26, 2016 at the Boston Marriott Cambridge in the heart of Kendall Square, Boston.
