Pre-Conference Day

With an ever-growing number of recruitment technologies and service providers on the market, knowing where to invest has become increasingly challenging. This workshop will equip attendees with practical frameworks to evaluate technologies, select the right partners, and build scalable recruitment ecosystems that deliver measurable value.

Attend this workshop to:

• Assess where technology, patient identification tools, and recruitment vendors can genuinely improve recruitment performance
• Develop robust frameworks for vendor selection, partnership management, and build vs. buy decisions
• Create meaningful success metrics and ROI measures to ensure technology investments deliver long-term impact
• Avoid fragmented technology strategies and build a scalable recruitment infrastructure across studies

This hands-on workshop moves beyond theory and puts attendees in the role of trial designers. Working in small groups, participants will deconstruct real-world protocols, identify recruitment risks, and collaboratively redesign studies to improve feasibility, patient experience, and enrollment outcomes. By the end of the session, attendees will leave with practical tools and frameworks that can be immediately applied to future studies.

Attend this workshop to:

• Stress-test protocol designs through guided group exercises and identify hidden barriers to recruitment and retention
• Balance scientific objectives with operational feasibility and participant burden when making design decisions
• Build a practical framework for designing studies that patients can join, sites can execute, and sponsors can successfully recruit into
