CISCRP staff is committed to participating and presenting—speaker, chairperson, moderator, advisor roles—in relevant and engaging educational events within the clinical research industry. We hope you can attend the following conference events and meet the CISCRP team.
Kim Edwards and Madeline Heaney will be attending the conference.
Kim will be speaking on the panel, Patient and Site Perspective—Bridging Communication Gap on Thursday at 11:30am – 12:00pm.
Hear directly from patients, caregivers and clinical sites about their experiences accessing and understanding clinical trial information, including what works, what doesn’t and what’s missing
Explore the gap between what companies create and what patients receive, understand and use when making decisions about trial participation and staying informed throughout the research process
Gain actionable insights on how to design transparency efforts that genuinely serve patient needs rather than just meeting regulatory requirements
Kim will also be presenting on, ‘Informing Better Communication – Using Patient Insights to Improve Clarity, Trust, and Access’on Friday at 1:15 – 1:45.
Present key insights from CISCRP’s 2025 Global Perceptions & Insights study, highlighting trends in patient experiences, expectations, and information needs
Share findings from dedicated study exploring patient perspectives on the use of artificial intelligence in the development of patient-facing materials
Demonstrate how patient insights can be applied to optimize patient-facing communications, using lessons learned from user testing of lay language clinical trial results summaries

October 5–6, 2026 | Philadelphia, PA
Annick de Bruin will be speaking on, Bridge the patient voice gap to strengthen clinical protocols on Monday at 1:15 PM – 1:35 PM.
Improve trial feasibility and recruitment outcomes by creating structured feedback loops with patients that translate real-world insights on awareness, trust, and participation experience into more accessible and better-designed protocols
Strengthen patient retention by continuously capturing and acting on patient perspectives around data transparency, AI use, and communication preferences to shape more personalized engagement strategies

Corinne Scripps, Madeline Heaney, and Shalome Sine will be attending this conference. Shalome Sine be speaking on: Reimagining the Consent Process from the Patient Perspective.
Drawing on survey findings from more than 4,400 clinical trial participants, this session explores how informed consent processes can better support patient understanding and decision-making. Attendees will examine key barriers to ICF comprehension, including document length and confusing terminology, alongside strategies for creating clearer, more patient-friendly consent experiences. The session will also highlight the benefits of eConsent and feature patient advocates sharing firsthand perspectives on how consent processes influence trial participation decisions.

Behtash Bahador will be speaking on: Retention Strategies To Keep Patients Connected on Saturday at 1:30PM.
As trials grow more complex and decentralized, sites must rethink participant engagement models. This session explores strategies to sustain participation: building staff rapport, managing retention barriers proactively, accessing tools like home care and telemedicine, and gaining sponsor or CRO support for patient needs. Learn retention success examples, key performance indicators, and how to distinguish between site-controlled retention issues and dropout due to drug-related factors (a critical distinction sponsors must recognize).

Annick de Bruin will be speaking on the panel, Humans in the Loop: Trust, Judgment, and Oversight in AI-Enabled Trials on Tuesday at 11:05 AM.
AI can summarize data, automate workflows, and generate insights. It can also confidently make terrible decisions at scale if nobody’s paying attention. This session explores where human judgment still matters in AI-enabled trials—from patient engagement and operational oversight to quality management and decision-making. Panelists will discuss how to balance automation with trust, transparency, and the kind of real-world context AI still doesn’t understand nearly as well as people do.
