What To Expect
The Advarra Innovation Summit Series brings together the people who power clinical research—sites, sponsors, CROs, and industry innovators—for a half day of collaboration, learning, and connection.
Each summit is designed to give you practical, actionable insights you can take back to your organization immediately.
You’ll kick off the morning with breakfast and a thought-leadership session that surfaces the latest trends shaping research operations. Then, you’ll dive into hands-on workshops grounded in real-world challenges and opportunities for improving site–sponsor collaboration.
Work through real scenarios with peers across the research ecosystem
Gain clarity on best practices
from those who are leading the way
Build meaningful connections with local and national research leaders
Leave with concrete takeaways—not theory, but tools you can use

What Your Peers Say
What a valuable morning, spent discussing collaboration between sites, sponsors, and CROs. I’ve been working in the clinical trials arena for a number of years, and it always astounds me how much I can still learn from other perspectives. Thank you for hosting this event.”
The Advarra representatives that presented and were present at the workshop were AMAZING. At one point, I forgot I was at a workshop as it was not a stuffy professional atmosphere. Every Advarra representative felt like a long lost friend!”
Thanks to Advarra for pulling this power group of site, CRO and sponsor organizations together to share, listen and learn from one another as together we address how to best serve our ultimate customer, the patients and families seeking healing and hope. Lots of brilliant minds and bright ideas in the room brainstorming on feasibility, startup, budgets, contracts, IRB/IBC reviews, patient recruitment, tech and more.”
