Clinical Trials Dinner
5:30pm - 8.30pm
Location: The Atlantic, 8 Whiteman St, Southbank VIC 3006 (five minutes from the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre).
AusBiotech and the AusBiotech Clinical Trials Advisory Group warmly invite professionals in the clinical trials sector to join them for an informal dinner, sponsored by Smartways. This is a great opportunity to connect in person before Australia's largest life sciences conference officially kicks off.
Clinical trials contribute to Australia economically and socially, and are a critical component in the development process of bringing new therapies, devices and diagnostics to patients. However, the Australian clinical trial ecosystem is complex, involving many parts and stakeholders; this dinner is an opportunity to unite under the same roof and celebrate the sector and its progress.
