Improve your exploratory development and phase I clinical trials

Exploratory Clinical Development World Europe has established itself as the largest and most influential European event for top pharmaceutical and biotechnology representatives working within exploratory development and early phase clinical trials.

For delegates
The 3rd annual Exploratory Clinical Development World Europe 2009 was a great success with unprecedented attendance from professionals working in exploratory clinical development / early phase trials in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. This year we have double the content, double the speakers and double the networking opportunities. This year we are on track to attract a record number of attendees from leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies plus delegates working in academia, technology companies, clinical research organisations, government bodies and consultants.
