Since 2011 the Industry Leaders Think Tank has attracted senior industry leaders, regulators, parliamentarians and experts from around the globe. Speakers at previous meetings include the Shadow Health Minister and senior executives from commercial and non-commercial organisations such as Dr Jonathan Sheffield, Chief Executive of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and Alistair Macdonald, CEO of Syneos Health. Meeting attendance is by invitation only and the focus is on enabling high level discussions and networking between senior level participants in the NHS and commercial sector.

Industry Leaders Think Tank – September 2023

Building on the success of previous IAOCR Clinical Research Industry Leaders Think Tanks, the 2023 Think Tank will take place in the Northern Powerhouse (NPH) region of the UK and will focus on Working Together to Deliver a World-Class Destination for Clinical Research.  Abstracts are invited from industry leaders anywhere in the world who have insights, ideas, case studies and inspiration to share (please complete the Oral Abstracts/Round Table Discussion form at the end of this page to apply by 30 June 2023).

Valuable lessons have been learned as a result of Covid that, as an industry, we must leverage to build back our industry to beyond pre-pandemic levels – to a place where clinical research is at the heart of healthcare systems, ensuring all patients have the opportunity to receive the latest and greatest treatments and that we develop current and future clinical research professionals based on best practice global standards.

I am thrilled this year’s Industry Leaders Think Tank will be hosted in the North of England – the place where innovation is part the region’s DNA and a speedy trial delivery is a key driver to bring the latest discoveries closer to the population.
This is a fantastic event where the NHS and academia have the opportunity to meet commercial industry partners. The Think Tank is a great platform for building relationships, networking, crystallising shared aims and ambitions for joint collaboration towards a safer, more productive and inspiring clinical trials environment.

The meeting brings together key opinion and industry leaders from across the Globe to share best practice and build foundations of excellence for the delivery of clinical trials. The Think Tank is an opportunity to add value and showcase the UK as a world class destination for clinical research.
