MAGI’s Clinical Research Conference - 2009 East

Conference Overview

Over 500 people participated in the 2008-West conference, up over 80% from 2007.

If you are a clinical research novice or veteran; with a study sponsor, research site, or CRO; in a corporate, academic or other organization; you will find a comprehensive program that focuses on your current needs and broadens your knowledge. MAGI conferences feature balanced co-presentations from sponsors, sites and CROs, real-life examples, practical tips, and lots of interaction and networking. Please join us in Miami.

NEW: Sponsor Operations & Site Operations Tracks
Based on attendee feedback, we are adding two new tracks: Sponsor Operations and Site Operations. These tracks offer practical information for study managers, principal investigators, site managers, clinical research associates, and study coordinators.

New: Focus on Latin America
Nine sessions will address international topics, with a focus on Latin America.

Networking. The conference is structured to facilitate networking and promote lasting relationships. Meet people from all sides of the table in an open, friendly and energetic environment. Speakers are generally very accessible during the conference. Our new online networking system will give you a head start on meeting the people you want to meet. Help us build the MAGI community!

You may attend any session in any track, workshops, and all conference networking functions -- luncheons, networking breaks, evening reception, and more!

Professional Certification. MAGI meetings are the exclusive venue for Clinical Research Contract Professional (CRCP) certification exams. Demonstrate your professional competence to your employer, colleagues, negotiating partners, and yourself.

New: Continuing Education Credits
Over 20 nursing continuing education (CNE) credits will be available. Relevant CNE hours qualify not just for nursing, but also for ACRP, APPI, NAIM, PMI, PRIM&R, RACC, RAPS and SoCRA hours. For CLE credits, check with your state board.

New: Personalized Schedule and Slide Book. Use our new online system to create your own personalized schedule and book of conference materials, including a table of contents, customized certificate of attendance, and enumerated pages.

Speaking Opportunities. Some MAGI speakers are world-renowned experts in their fields; others are just experts. What they all have in common is a passion for clinical research and the generosity to share what they know. To speak at a MAGI conference, click here. To learn more, click here.

New: Scholarships. Free registration will be available for six unemployed clinical research professionals between jobs (not prior to their first clinical research jobs). For more information, contact the Conference Chairman.

Business Development Opportunities. If your firm provides solutions to clinical trial sponsors, sites or CROs, a conference partnership offers you the opportunity to increase your visibility and meet decision-makers in a focused audience. MAGI calls sponsors and exhibitors "partners" because you contribute to the educational content of the meeting. Because the focus of our exhibit area is education, rather than commerce, conference attendees visit exhibits to find out what they can learn. If you confirm your partnership early, a speaking role may be available. For more information, contact Partner Relations.
