Arena International is thrilled to announce the return of the leading clinical outsourcing and operations conference on the West Coast! The 14th OCT West Coast edition will be hosted on 24th & 25th February 2021 at 8am PST on our brand new virtual event platform! Last year’s event was attended by 800+ clinical trial stakeholders. Following its success, this year we are bringing you a program packed with up to date content, instant meeting features, video recording capabilities, and 40+ keynote presentations, all via a new online format that was purpose-built for engagement. This event includes featured sponsors Medidata, Novotech and Saama Technologies. The 2021 program has four dedicated streams:

• Clinical Operations & Outsourcing
• Technology & Innovation
• Patient Engagement
• Medical Device Trials

Attendees will hear talks from Ravi Kiron, Head of Biopharma Internal Innovation – who will discuss how to gain investment during a crisis – as well as a technology keynote from Daniel Ramirez at LEO Pharma on the virtualisation of trials. Minorities in clinical trials and investment checklists for biopharma companies will be discussed during the practical workshops, and for the first time, a patient engagement stream will give participants the opportunity to debate best practices on how to include patient voices in clinical trials and the best approaches to recruitment. Day two addresses how to effectively run medical device trials at a local and global level- especially given Covid-19’s disruption to the market this year for small and mid-sized trial sponsors, with keynotes and sessions on relevant regulations, digital technology, innovation and Covid-19 responses- ideal for West Coast medical device and life sciences professionals.
