Veeva R&D and Quality Summit

Boston | October 19-21, 2026

Powerful Community, Fresh Ideas

Day 0

Veeva SiteVault Best Practices: Join fellow SiteVault peers as they share proven strategies from the front lines of research. Leaders from Boston Children’s Hospital, the University of Pennsylvania, and Geisinger Health system will share the processes and tools they use to make their ISF management efficient, and how they leverage SiteVault as a tool to scale research capacity. Attendees will explore critical features, adoption strategies and best practices to keep their site ahead of the curve for tomorrow’s trials, and leave with tangible recommendations and peer connections to carry through the rest of Summit and beyond.

Step into the design process and directly influence the future of sponsor-provided technology. Participants will provide real-time feedback on current product experience and evaluate early-stage designs spanning the entire trial lifecycle—from initial feasibility to final study archival — all while enjoying a casual lunch with site and sponsor peers.

By sharing your front-line experience, you will help develop Veeva solutions to enable seamless site-sponsor collaboration for tomorrow.

Join site, sponsor and CRO leaders in a hands-on, collaborative workshop focused on shifting site and sponsor engagements from study-by-study transactions to long-term strategic alliances. From feasibility to data exchange, cross functional teams of sites, sponsors and CROs will partner to tackle challenges throughout the study lifecycle.

Through interactive discussions and fast-pasted presentations, participants will design actionable frameworks that make sites and their sponsors more efficient, learn from each other, and expand their networks along the way.

Kick off Summit at a dedicated happy hour focused on bringing the research site community together. Connect with peers and celebrate ahead of the welcome reception!

Day 1

Sanofi shares how connected process and data, an agentic approach, and human-centered design can make clinical trials more efficient and a better experience. Hear how Sanofi is evolving its operating model and working with Veeva to build a more connected, patient-first clinical ecosystem.

Real industry progress happens when site experience drives sponsor strategy. In this inaugural year session, Site Advisory Council leaders take the stage to advocate for the critical needs of site staff and trial participants directly to sponsor and CRO leadership. Gain first-hand insights into site friction points, explore collaborative solution frameworks, and help shape the next era of site-centric technology.

Discover how Veeva SiteVault’s unified platform has created a connected core framework for site business operations, sponsor integration, and intelligent automation.

Join Clinical Leader’s Chief Editor and Veeva’s VP of Public Policy for an interactive discussion on current policy issues, their impact on clinical trials, and how Veeva is advocating for sites.

Day 2

Designed specifically for sites, sponsors, and CROs to collaborate and learn together, this breakfast session offers a unique environment for cross-industry feedback and discussion. Together, we’ll examine a demonstration of how connected data flows across site and sponsor systems from study startup to closeout. Break down real-world operational friction, explore practical implementation strategies, and provide real-time feedback on process innovations that maximize efficiency for every stakeholder.

Discover a site-centric eSource strategy that breaks the cycle of disconnected tools. Unpack how FHIR-based APIs enable automated data transfer from EHR to EDC, eliminate manual re-entry and source data verification (SDV), and empower sites to manage one unified platform across their entire portfolio.

Drop in and meet sponsors aligned with your therapeutic areas, patient populations, or studies of interest. Take advantage of dedicated networking time to build connections that can lead to future collaborations.

SiteVault customers describe their experiences adopting innovative site technology. Learn how it has improved site operations and their approach to successful implementation.

Preview Veeva eSource, a new application for sites. See how Veeva eSource connects with Veeva EDC to eliminate paper, reduce the need for SDV, and simplify data collection for sites, data managers, and CRAs.

Engage with real-world case studies of sponsors who brought site-identified challenges back to their organizations and built concrete, burden-reducing solutions for sites, patients, and caregivers.

Join academic research leaders for a candid look at today’s IIT landscape. Explore the real-world impact of recent NIH funding changes, strategies for workforce development and retention, and how modern technology platforms can help AMCs run complex, multi-site academic protocols more efficiently and cost-effectively.

Using a real participant story, explore how patient experience influences trial design, participant engagement, and collaboration across the clinical research ecosystem.
