SCDM 2026 Annual Conference

For 25 years, the Festival of Opportunity has been where our profession comes together to learn, reconnect and move clinical data management forward. In 2026 it comes to Raleigh, home of the real Research Triangle, and to the question at the center of our work: how do we connect patients, sites, and industry through the data we manage? The festival is the four days. What you do with them is the opportunity.

What you’ll learn:

How patients, sites and sponsors actually connect through data and where things still break down.

What to expect:

Mix of big ideas and real world practice. Hear from people shaping the field dive into sessions that tackle everyday challenges and have space to learn.

Who you’ll meet:

People across the whole research ecosystem, from sponsors and CROs to site teams, tech partners and emerging voices.
