Join DS2 at the GCSG 2027 US Conference
GCSG runs in Phoenix from April 25 to 28, 2027, and the DS2 team will be there for it. We're attending the program and meeting customers and partners around it, so put a time in with us.
Let's Connect in Phoenix
GCSG is a practitioner community built on sharing what works, bringing together sponsor-side supply leads, depots, logistics providers and consultants. DS2 values both the customer and the partner relationships in that room, and four days is a generous amount of time to build them. We're looking forward to talking about kit design and fulfillment, courier and depot partnerships, cold chain, biostorage and specimen returns. If you run a depot or a lane and are looking to build new partnerships, we would be glad to meet you too.
We often find during these events that the diary fills up quickly. Use the form and we'll block a time for you to meet our team as soon as GCSG publishes the program.
Why Attend the GCSG 2027 US Conference?
The Global Clinical Supplies Group is a not-for-profit professional organization built to share knowledge, collaborate and improve practice for clinical supply and related professionals. It started life as the Midwest Clinical Supplies Group, held its first conference in 1988 with twenty attendees from ten companies, and now lists a directory of more than 480 clinical supply colleagues.
Built for sharing, not spectating: Its strapline is Gather, Collaborate, Share, Grow, and the events follow that: knowledge sharing, education and networking rather than a stage-and-audience format.
Membership comes included: Membership is included free when you sign up for an event.
A program still taking shape: The 2027 US Conference program is still being built. GCSG has published dates, the city and pricing, and says speakers will be announced soon.
Boot camps to workshops: Activity types defined for the conference include boot camps and seminars, plenaries, presentations, showcases and workshops.
Why Meet with DS2?
This is a room of people who know clinical supply inside out, so here it is plainly. DS2 designs and builds kits, moves and stores specimens under temperature control, runs mobile collection, and documents every step of it. What we do:
- Diagnostic and specimen collection kit design, assembly and fulfillment
- Kit-to-patient and direct-to-patient distribution
- Medical courier services, including STAT and next-flight-out specimen transport
- Cold chain and temperature-controlled logistics, with the documentation to prove the range held
- Biostorage and biorepository services
- Mobile phlebotomy and specimen collection
- LIS, LIMS and EMR integration, including HL7 and FHIR
- Chain of custody and compliance documentation
Depot and courier partnerships matter to us as much as direct supply, and we're looking forward to both conversations while we're all in Phoenix.
