Conference 2010
PhUSE 2010, the sixth annual conference was held at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Berlin on the 17th to 20th October and was chaired by Heidi Curinckx (Janssen R&D).
The conference contained more than 100 presentations and posters and was attended by 368 people. Presentations ranged from simple but useful programming tips, to the latest on integrating available technology with industry requirements. Between presentations there was the opportunity to wander around the exhibition area where CROs, solution providers and software vendors featured their products and solutions.
This year we organized pre-conference training on Sunday afternoon, and a welcome drink and dinner in the evening, which meant the Sunday provided an opportunity for early arrivals to catch up with old friends and colleagues. It also allowed a prompt start at 9am on Monday morning for the opening address, followed by the keynote speeches, this year given by Dr Rebecca Kush (CDISC) and Dr Charles Jaffe (HL7), who outlined the future challenges facing the industry. On Tuesday we again started with a plenary session, with Dr Ed Conley (Cardiff University) as our 3rd keynote speaker. The remainder of our 3-day event was given over to presentations on Industry Standards, Coding Solutions, Technical Solutions and many other hot topics in our industry. We also organized 3 Discussion clubs (CDISC and Industry Standards, Outsourcing and Innovation Driven by Technology) for a more interactive session with the audience, and 7 Regional Discussion Clubs to find out specific needs and wishes in different regions (UK, Switzerland, Germany, Benelux, Scandinavia, Rest of Europe and Rest of World). On Wednesday morning we invited University students and saw the last of the presentations. Following this we ended with a closing speech, which included prize giving for the best papers in each stream and the lucky winners of the various exhibitor prizes. This speech also introduced Yvonne Moores, who will chair next year's conference.
