About half of the attendees have leadership roles like CEO, vice president, or director. About three-quarters have eight or more years of clinical research experience. Study sponsors are split about 75% biopharma and 25% medical device. Sites are almost evenly split between (a) academic medical centers, (b) health systems and community hospitals, and (c) independent sites and clinics. As a result, networking is very productive.
