The 16th annual Southeast edition of Arena International's Outsourcing in Clinical Trials (OCT) series, a two-day regional conference at the Hilton Raleigh North Hills in Raleigh, North Carolina. It brings pharma and biotech sponsors together with CROs and specialist vendors across the trial-outsourcing lifecycle, from site selection and vendor management through to clinical supply, packaging and biological sample handling.
Clinical-supply and trial-logistics staff use the meeting to compare IMP packaging, labelling and biological sample management approaches and to source CRO and vendor partners. Temperature-controlled distribution and sample storage appear within the supply-chain sessions rather than as a standalone programme, so the relevance is partial but concrete for anyone in a trial-supply role.
The room is mostly Southeast-US pharma and biotech clinical operations, outsourcing and clinical-supply personnel, alongside CROs, packaging and labelling providers and biological sample management vendors. Seniority ranges from director-level outsourcing leads to hands-on trial-supply and vendor managers, with the Research Triangle location skewing the mix toward regional and mid-size sponsors.
