AusBiotech and the AusBiotech Clinical Trials Advisory Group warmly invite professionals in the clinical trials sector to join them for an informal dinner, sponsored by Smartways. This is a great opportunity to connect in person before Australia's largest life sciences conference officially kicks off.

Clinical trials contribute to Australia economically and socially, and are a critical component in the development process of bringing new therapies, devices and diagnostics to patients. However, the Australian clinical trial ecosystem is complex, involving many parts and stakeholders; this dinner is an opportunity to unite under the same roof and celebrate the sector and its progress.
