We are pleased to announce production of Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Third Annual Global Site Selection, Feasibility Assessment, Operations and Site Management: Improving Trial Timelines through Planning and Execution being held on February 5-6, 2013 at the Hyatt Regency Miami in Miami, Florida.

This gathering is co-located within the Summit for Clinical Trials Operations Executives (SCOPE), a three-day cluster of events that attracted 400 leaders in clinical operations and research in February 2012. CHI’s Global Site Selection, Feasibility Assessment, Operations and Site Management will be followed by the Patient Recruitment and Retention in Studies and Registries; Integrating and Leveraging Clinical Trial Operations Data; Managing Post-Marketing Studies and Registries, and Clinical Trial Forecasting, Budgeting,  and Project Management conferences.
Topics to be discussed include:

• Site selection and study planning considerations: Understanding regional issues, regulatory landscapes, and local ethics processes
• Optimizing country selection: Strategies for positioning trials for success using a global footprint
• Optimizing the site feasibility process: Improving global site feasibility assessment to identify sites that will recruit on time and within budget
• Cost-effective techniques for finding high performing sites: High-tech and low-tech solutions to avoid uninterested and low enrolling parties
• Overcoming challenges in clinical operations and site management: Linking sponsors, service providers and investigative sites and positioning sites for success by anticipating their needs
• Improving operational efficiencies in Site, CRO, and Sponsor Interactions: Implementing Strategic Relationships and other forms of partnerships
• Driving innovation in study start-up: Optimizing processes, training leaders and leveraging technology

If you are interested in presenting, please submit a speaking proposal for review. Please note that due to limited speaking slots, preference is given to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, regulators and those from academic /hospital centers. Additionally, as per CHI policy, a select number of vendors/consultants who provide products and services to these biopharmaceutical companies are offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.
