''From Prediction to Participation: Transforming Trial Success with AI''
The OECT Summit Canada unites clinical research professionals who are continuously seeking innovative solutions and forward-thinking strategies to enhance performance and trial outcomes. Designed for leaders in Clinical Operations, Project Management, and Research Excellence, the summit focuses on today’s most pressing challenges — Study Feasibility, Site Management, Patient Recruitment & Retention, Outsourcing Clinical Trials, and Vendor Oversight. Each of these areas plays a critical role in optimizing timelines, budgets, collaborations, and maintaining the scientific integrity of clinical trials.
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping how clinical trials are planned, executed, and optimized—but is it delivering on its promise?
This flagship track at the OECT Summit brings together clinical leaders, technology innovators, and patient advocates to explore how AI is transforming feasibility, patient recruitment, and retention strategies across the clinical development lifecycle.
From predictive site selection and real-world data integration to AI-driven patient identification, personalized engagement, and retention intelligence, sessions will go beyond the hype to showcase real-world applications, lessons learned, and ongoing challenges.
Join us to examine whether AI can truly reduce delays, improve patient experience, and increase trial success rates—or whether it introduces new risks around data quality, bias, and trust.
