Don’t just take our word for it. Hear directly from past participants who’ve walked our halls, joined meetings, and discovered unusual opportunities at the CTSS. Their success stories speak for themselves

It’s been a great experience. A lot of great talks have been on, and the meetings have been fantastic with different sponsors. Really looking to utilize the innovations that are offered in the vendor space to help them execute their vendor programs.

The individual one-on-one meeting with the sponsors has been fantastic. What we are finding out is really what the pain points are for these individuals and their roles within the small to mid-sized pharma companies.

Pre-scheduled meetings were very great. Here we had a lot of people from for the clinical trials operations, clinical development, data management, and analytics. So, everybody who can support clinical trial development, clinical trial operations are there.
