INVITATION
3rd ACRP’s Israeli National Conference
Medical Devices Research & Development;
How to navigate the global and local challenges?
Monday, May 29, 2006
Venue: ICC Jerusalem International Convention Center, Jerusalem
On behalf of the Association of Clinical Research Professional (ACRP), I am pleased to welcome you to the 3rd ACRP’s Israeli National Conference, which will take place on Monday, 29 May 2006, at the Jerusalem International Convention Center. This Conference will take place in conjunction with the BioMed 2006 Conference and Exhibition (www.kenes.com/biomed) to which the entire Israeli Life Sciences Industry is invited.
ACRP's one-day National Conferences are held annually throughout the ICH regions, enabling industry professionals across the globe to examine international and regional hot topics in clinical research. Each event provides unique networking opportunities and has a distinct local flavor, as high-caliber local speakers discuss how new developments and regulations may affect the clinical trials you conduct.
The chosen theme of the conference "Medical Devices Research & Development; How to navigate the global and local challenges?" will explore the unique set of challenges that each medical device researcher must address to be successful in a global environment.
In light of the medical devices growth in the local industry, the diversity in products' classification, expanded safety questions, rapidly changing technology and increasing customer and regulatory scrutiny we feel that the time is ripe to highlight the chosen conference topics.
The presentations in the conference will be given by leading representatives from the Ministry of Health, key people from the local pharmaceutical and R&D industries, as well as by lecturers from abroad.
The conference is aimed at every professional dedicated to clinical research and development; pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and CRO/SMO industries, clinical investigators and coordinating staff, ethics committees and regulatory authorities.
The conference promises to be educational, enjoyable, opportunity to network and above-all a further step in increasing your professionalism.
We are expecting hundreds of attendees to this conference and will be happy to see you among them.
Sincerely yours,
Ahuva Koren
