The clinical trials community is continually growing, and it is important to keep up with the changing environment. The purpose of the Directory & Buyers Guide is to keep you abreast of the changes taking place, whether they are in clinical trials monitoring, specialty labs, EDC suppliers, software developers or training and education. Clinical trials require strategic partners and outsourcers who will provide solutions to challenges, and they can be easily accessed within these pages.
Whether you are looking for a particular company or researching CROs, you will find what you need quickly in the ACT Directory & Buyers Guide. While clinical trials colleagues communicate with you via the Internet, direct mail or at workshops and conferences, this single source, desktop print directory will have distinct advantages. The directory is set up with a comprehensive category list and an alphabetized index. The directory also includes a calendar of upcoming clinical trials events.
I hope our ACT 2007 Directory & Buyers Guide proves to be an essential and invaluable part of your desktop reference tools.
Best regards,
Wayne K. Blow
