Join DS2 at Outsourcing in Clinical Trials West Coast 2027
February 10 and 11, 2027, back in Burlingame. Our team is attending both days and keeping the breaks free to meet customers and partners. Book a slot.
Let's Connect in Burlingame
Around eight hundred people attend, most of them Bay Area biotech clinical operations, outsourcing and procurement leaders. Many partner with specialists for kitting and specimen logistics, which is exactly where DS2 helps, and we are looking forward to the two days. Come and talk to us if you are scoping a kitting and distribution partner, planning specimen transport across sites, building cold chain with clear evidence behind it, or simplifying the number of partners you work with. We're excited to get into volumes, timelines and coverage.
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 while availability lasts.
Why Attend Outsourcing in Clinical Trials West Coast 2027?
The nineteenth annual edition. Arena publishes 800+ attendees, 100+ exhibitors and 70+ speakers, with 80% of the room at director level or above, which makes this the biggest single gathering of West Coast sponsors who outsource clinical delivery.
A collaborative environment: The organizer frames it as a collaborative environment where pharma and biotech leaders find solutions to current challenges through innovation and partnership, with the program built around clinical operations, technology, and patient centricity.
Three streams in parallel: Outsourcing and clinical operations, AI and tech transformation, and patient centricity on day one giving way to biotech strategy on day two.
Six speakers confirmed so far: From TORL Biotherapeutics, Sardocor, Novartis, Genentech, Scribe Therapeutics and Kardigan Bio. The full 2027 agenda has not been published yet, so the previous edition remains the best guide to how the two days are shaped.
Why Meet with DS2?
Once a CRO strategy is set, the kits, couriers, cold storage and specimen returns underneath it still need an owner. That is where DS2 comes in, and we run all of it end to end. 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
A first program heading into the clinic, a study scaling across new sites, or several vendors coming together under one partner. Book a slot and we'll get into the detail.
