As the Partnerships with CROs event enters its 14th year, the clinical development arena finds itself addressing challenges of productivity shortfalls and cost inefficiencies, and falling prey to relationship challenges that often result from inadequate communication. The industry is seeking innovative ways of partnering as a means to re-engineer their clinical development processes. However, to accomplish this requires an exploration into what “partnership” means in light of new trends such as functional outsourcing, offshore outsourcing, and e-sourcing.

Partnerships with CROs and Other Outsourcing Providers event is the leading US pharmaceutical industry gathering on outsourcing and the development of effective clinical partnerships. Systematically structured over three days, the program explores best practices on creating, managing, and sustaining clinical outsourcing partnerships to enable more efficient and safe trials that lead to new life-saving and life-extending therapeutics.
