Who should attend
SCOPE is built for the people who run trials — clinical operations leads, data management heads, outsourcing and vendor managers. The regulatory case for joining them is that operational decisions are compliance decisions wearing overalls: a decentralized design, an AI-assisted monitoring plan or a new recruitment channel each arrives with GCP, data-integrity and inspection consequences that are cheaper to shape in the planning room than to defend in a response letter.
Later in the year, DIA 2027 Global Annual Meeting brings the regulators themselves to San Diego — and the events directory lists everything we have verified.
