For the first time in the industry, and the first time in Europe, Clinical Research Associates (CRAs) have a conference that puts them front and center.
As clinical trials evolve with new technologies, decentralized models, shifting regulations, and more pressure on trial oversight and monitoring, the Clinical Research Associate (CRA) role is being redefined. CRACONNECT LIVE 2026 is where those shifts are discussed by and for the people doing the monitoring work.
Expect 2 days of thought-provoking sessions, insights from top experts in clinical research, high-energy panels, discussions— but most of all, connection.
Hear from leaders across pharmaceutical companies, CROs, sites, and technology vendors.
Two full days of keynotes, sessions, and moderated panel discussions—focused entirely on the evolving role of the Clinical Research Associates.
