Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s 17th Annual

SCOPE

Powering the Future of Clinical Research

February 2-5, 2026

Clinical trials are the engine of medical progress—driving new treatments, improving patient outcomes, and expanding scientific knowledge. Their success depends on collaboration, innovation, and strategic execution at every step. SCOPE returns for its 17th year of cross-stakeholder collaboration, February 2–5 at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, FL. Over four stimulating days of in-depth discussions and networking, SCOPE features 30 different conferences (3 new), a bustling exhibit hall with 300+ companies (45 more than last year), 3 plenary keynote sessions, the 10th annual Participant Engagement Award, the 3rd annual Site Innovation Award, the Best of Show Awards, special cross-department panels, multiple receptions, the 5th annual Master of Clinical Research golf tournament, and a morning Fun Run. SCOPE keeps gaining momentum (14% YoY Growth last year alone!). At the request of our attendees, we have extended the coverage in 2026 on Patient-Centric Trial Design, Site Engagement, Recruitment, Generative AI, Small Biopharma Strategies, ClinTech Investment, and other key topics. The programming focuses on advances and innovative solutions in all aspects of clinical trial innovation, planning, management, operations, and investment. SCOPE welcomes more than 4,500 attendees and 1,200 different organizations from 30 countries in clinical research, operations, innovation, technology, and investment, and we want you and your company to join the community!
