✅ Why It Matters

Regional relevance: The Nordic region (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland) has strong capabilities in clinical research, and outsourcing models are becoming increasingly important. If you work in or target this region, the event is a good fit.

Operational focus: The event is quite operational (outsourcing, supply chain, partnerships) rather than purely scientific. So if your role is in vendor selection, logistics, CRO relationships, this is very relevant.

Networking & business development: Great opportunity to connect with local/regional CROs, service providers, logistic specialists, and sponsors leveraging the Nordics region.

Keeping up with regulation & innovation: With evolving clinical trial regulation, digital health technologies, decentralized trials, etc., this kind of conference helps you stay current.

🚩 Tips If You're Attending

Plan your meetings ahead of time: many of the attendees will be service providers, so bring clear goals (e.g., what outsourcing service you need, what supply chain issue you face).

Focus on sessions with the region ↔ global interplay: even though it's Nordic-focused, logistics/supply chain challenges often have global implications.

Bring questions about regulatory/local Nordic considerations: e.g., what's different in Denmark vs. Sweden vs. Finland in terms of trial outsourcing or supply chain.

Consider the supply chain/specialty logistics side: given the rise of specialty medicines, temperature-sensitive shipments, home/remote trial models, this is a key topic.

Use the event to benchmark: How are other companies structuring their outsourcing in the Nordics? What are their vendor selection criteria? What KPIs are used?
