ABOUT THE SUMMIT
The 2nd Annual EAST COAST-WEST COAST CRO/CMO US
Summit is a unique program developed to build a bridge
between the world’s three largest life science clusters: San
Francisco, Boston, and San Diego. This program aims to
develop and foster relationships between the communities,
and allow for a discussion of the important issues facing our
industry.
This event is ideal for scientists, sourcing specialists, and
entrepreneurs throughout all stages in the development of a
commercialized drug. Attendees will network with and learn
from researchers from both the sponsor and provider
companies about successful ways to accelerate drug
development.
