Quick answer: A clinical investigator meeting needs one general session room for protocol training, breakout rooms for site-specific workshops, reliable hybrid AV for remote coordinators, and a location investigators can reach easily. Philadelphia is a leading life sciences hub, and CYTO | PHL in University City, next to 30th Street Station, offers rooms from 8 to 270 people.
Before a trial enrolls its first patient, investigators and study coordinators need to understand the protocol, the procedures, and the data requirements. The investigator meeting is where that happens.
Philadelphia is home to world-class research institutions, hospitals, and life sciences companies, which makes it a natural place to host these meetings.
