DIA 1st Day: Highlights, Lottery Winner and Tips from Speaker Sessions
Posted by Kathy Murray, June 14, 2010, 2:35 AM
The DIA conference is officially underway, and we are excited to report that the first day was very positive. Overall, the energy is great, sessions are informative and helpful and many impressive booths are on display.
 
Our Lottery contest was also a huge hit! Many people participated and had fun in guessing the two lucky winning numbers of the day, in hopes to win an iPod Touch.
 
Monday’s two lucky numbers were 99 and 04. If you’ve been by the booth or seen our advertising campaign, you would know what those numbers represent:
·   99% of our customers say that they would recommend us
·   Our staff turnover rate is only 4%
 
Congrats to Michelle Macan, Senior Contracts Manager at Forest Research Institute, Inc. for guessing these lucky numbers! She walked away today smiling with her brand new iPod Touch. You can view her winning picture and many others taken at the conference on Facebook.com/ACMGlobalLab or Twitter.com/ACMGlobalLab.
 
For me, a session highlight was the standing room-only “Strategies for Successful Relationships between Sponsors and CROs.”  The panelists offered valuable, informative and practical advice on risk mitigation and sponsor oversight of CRO monitoring for GCP compliance. Sonja Vanwye of Falcon Consulting Group emphasized how outsourcing is an ongoing collaboration between the CRO and sponsor that is built on both trust and periodic reviews. Vanwye quoted “Setting clear expectations between the sponsors and CROs is imperative.” I am excited for more panel sessions tomorrow.
 
Keep on coming by our booth #1304! Our U.S. and European team members will be waiting for you.
 
Don’t forget that you can win an iPod touch by entering our Lottery contest. We will be announcing winners via Facebook, Twitter and here at our Blog each day.
 
Stay tuned!
