17th Operational Excellence in Clinical Trials (OECT) Summit

 

From Feasibility to First Patient In. From Start-Up to Successful Study Delivery.

10–11 March 2027 | Berlin, Germany

 

Clinical trials are becoming more complex — but timelines, budgets and expectations are not getting any easier.

 

The 17th OECT Summit brings together the professionals responsible for making clinical studies happen — from feasibility and study start-up to site activation, monitoring, recruitment and study delivery.

 

Join leading Clinical Project Managers, Clinical Operations Managers, Study Managers, CRAs, Monitoring, Feasibility and Study Start-Up professionals for two days of practical insights, real-world case studies, interactive discussions and peer-to-peer exchange focused on one goal:

 

How do we start smarter, solve problems faster and deliver clinical trials better?

 

Why Attend OECT 2027?

01 | Master the Journey from Feasibility to Site Activation

Learn how leading teams are improving feasibility, selecting the right sites and removing bottlenecks from study start-up to accelerate site readiness and first patient in.

 

02 | Solve the Operational Challenges You Face Every Day

Move beyond theory with real-world case studies and interactive sessions covering underperforming sites, recruitment delays, protocol complexity, monitoring challenges and studies at risk.

 

03 | Learn From the People Delivering Trials

Exchange practical ideas with peers across Clinical Operations, Project Management, Study Start-Up, Feasibility, Monitoring and Site Management — and discover what is working across different organisations and operating models.

 

04 | Explore Smarter Ways to Monitor & Manage Studies

Discover how risk-based approaches, data-driven decision-making and new technologies are changing the way teams manage sites, identify risks and keep studies on track.

 

05 | Discover Where AI Can Actually Improve Clinical Operations

Cut through the AI hype and explore practical applications across feasibility, start-up, monitoring, study management and trial delivery — with a focus on what can genuinely save time and improve execution.

 

The OECT Experience

Practical. Interactive. Operational.

No endless theory. No presentations disconnected from reality.

 

OECT is designed around the real challenges of clinical trial execution — giving you practical ideas, new perspectives and solutions you can take back to your next study.
