Day 2 at the OECT Summit is a done-done!
@kpmorgangroup brought together a strong lineup of speakers tackling some of the biggest conversations shaping clinical trials today, from AI implementation and institutional authorization to patient voice, site engagement, recruitment and the human side of automation.
It has been an exciting two days in Toronto, and we hope the discussions sparked here continue well beyond the summit and lead to even more conversations in the days and weeks ahead.
This has been Xtalks On Location with Insiya, Mohammad and Stephanie.

Live from the 10th Annual OECT Summit in Toronto today, hosted by @KPMGLOBALS.
The theme — From Prediction to Participation: Transforming Trial Success with AI.
A question: is AI actually moving the needle on feasibility, trial operations and patient recruitment or is there still a gap between promise and practice?
We’re here talking to speakers and listening for the themes that stand out.

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.
