Xtalks is On Location today at the 10th Annual OECT Summit in Toronto, hosted by @KPMGLOBALS! Two days, a packed speaker lineup and one question running through much of the agenda: is AI actually delivering in clinical trials, or are we still chasing the hype? Today’s lineup is digging into where the real progress is, from smarter feasibility and site strategy to patient intelligence and AI-powered clinical operations, and where the gap between promise and practice still shows up. Proud to be media partners again this year. We’re speaking with clinical research leaders and following the conversations shaping clinical trials today. #OECkpm #ClinicalResearch #AIinClinicalResearch #ClinicalOperations #LifeSciences #XtalksOnLocation
