Optimize Patient-led Trial Design, Navigate Site & Vendor Selection & Expand Trial Awareness to Maximize Enrollment, Boost Retention, & Deliver Faster, Measurable Outcomes
In 2026, the recruitment landscape is changing faster than ever. Tightening budgets, increasing expectations for representative enrollment, evolving policy landscapes, and an overwhelming number of recruitment technologies and service providers have made it harder to know where to focus investment.
Patient recruitment has become the defining factor in clinical trial success, determining whether studies stay on schedule, remain within budget, and ultimately whether new therapies reach the patients who need them. However, despite continued investment, most trials still fail to meet enrollment timelines, forcing Clinical Operations and Patient Recruitment teams to deliver more with fewer resources while proving the impact of every recruitment decision.
The Targeted Patient Recruitment Summit is the first dedicated forum bringing together Clinical Operations, Patient Recruitment, Patient Engagement, and Site leaders to tackle the recruitment challenge from every angle. Across three days of practical case studies, interactive workshops, and cross-functional discussion, you will benchmark strategies to design more recruitable protocols, build stronger site and physician partnerships, improve referral pathways, optimize recruitment investment, and create more patient-centered trial experiences.
Join leaders from Sanofi, Merck, Moderna, Alexion, and more as they share the real-world strategies, lessons learned, and measurable approaches helping organizations recruit faster, retain more patients, and deliver trials with greater confidence.
Whether you're designing recruitment strategy, selecting sites, engaging physicians, partnering with patients, or justifying recruitment investment, this is the only meeting dedicated to helping you make smarter recruitment decisions that deliver measurable enrollment outcomes.
