Join DS2 at the Precision in Clinical Trials Summit San Diego

The DS2 team is heading to the Westin San Diego Bayview on October 12 and 13. We'll be in the sessions, and meeting customers and partners around them. If you're going, put a time in with us.

We'll be there

Let's Connect in San Diego

The summit brings together VPs and directors of clinical operations, clinical development and vendor management working across precision oncology, cell and gene therapy and genomics. Supporting programs like these is what DS2 does, and we are looking forward to spending two days with the people leading them. Precision programs ask a lot of every sample, so the practical detail matters. How the collection kit is built, who carries the specimen, the temperature it holds, where it is stored, and how clearly the custody record reads afterwards. If you are shaping any of that, we would enjoy talking it through over a break.

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 the Precision in Clinical Trials Summit?

October 12–13, 2026The Westin San Diego Bayview, 1051 Columbia St, San Diego, CA 92101, USA

Precision Evolution Global runs this one under the line Where Genomics Innovation Meets Clinical Trial Excellence, and pitches it at senior leaders in clinical operations, clinical development, regulatory affairs and vendor management. The published audience is 350+ senior-level attendees with 40+ sponsors.

1

Keynotes, panels, workshops and one-to-one meetings: The format is keynotes, panels, practical workshops and one-to-one meetings, with an event app and partnering platform behind it.

2

The science San Diego is known for: Content leans toward genomics and next-generation sequencing, CAR-T and immunotherapy, CRISPR and gene editing, AI-powered recruitment and precision oncology strategy.

3

A vendor-selection room as much as a scientific one: Marken, Almac Group, Catalent, Cryoport Systems, PCI Pharma Services and YourWay all appear on the sponsor list, which tells you what kind of conversations the delegates came to have.

4

The tracks closest to the work DS2 does: The published track list is broad: biomarkers and biospecimens; clinical supply and clinical logistics; cell and gene based therapies; decentralized clinical trials, hybrid models and wearables; site selection, feasibility and site engagement; quality, monitoring and risk-based monitoring; budgeting and outsourcing, and vendor management; data and technology driven trials, including AI and machine learning; patient engagement and centricity. A timed agenda is issued on request through the official event page.

Why Meet with DS2?

In a precision trial there is rarely a second sample. DS2 exists to make sure the first one survives the journey: the collection kit, the courier, the temperature range, the storage, and a chain of custody that stands up to an inspector. 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

Biospecimen logistics, kit-to-patient supply and biostorage, or bringing several vendors together under one partner. We're looking forward to talking it through in San Diego.
