• Establishing a panel of patients, researchers and healthcare professionals: How a standing panel of experts provides ongoing insights that help shape research, clinical trial development, participant-facing materials and decision-making.
• Turning lived experience into action: Real examples of how panel feedback has influenced communication materials.
• Driving cultural change through partnership: How co-creating and co-delivering training on cultural sensitivity, social determinants of health, and unconscious bias helps clinical trial managers to ensure more inclusive clinical research practices.
• Awards to drive culture change: How evaluating award submissions and celebrating great patient and site engagement examples helps drive a culture change.

• Understanding the shift: what is driving competitors’ rapid growth in early-phase, oncology, and cell and gene therapy trials across the US, China, and other regions, and why the gap is driven more by execution than by cost or technology
• Where Europe still leads: scientific excellence, high-quality multi-country data accepted by global regulators, and diverse patient populations that strengthen global filings
• Turning reform into real speed: what the EU CTR, the planned EU Biotech Act, and Germany’s Medical Research Act can deliver, and what sponsors, sites, and ethics committees must do to accelerate progress
• From competition to collaboration: designing global development strategies
