The EuroMeeting and Clinical Forum will take place in Paris as planned, in spite of January’s terrorist attacks in the French capital, according to the Drug Information Association (DIA).
“We are working closely with the venue and the city of Paris to make sure all security measures are taken and onsite security will be reinforced,” noted Natacha Scholl, Team Leader of Operations for DIA in Europe, Middle East & Africa. “We will put everything in place to reassure participants of course.”
She does not anticipate that the attacks will have any great impact on delegate numbers. “Registrations haven't stopped over the past days, despite the tragic events,” she remarked.
As of January 15, there were already more than 650 registered participants, and Scholl said the organizers are expecting at least 2500 to 3000 attendees in total for the two events.

Behind the Buzz: Why Clinical Research Leaders Flock to SCOPE Summit
February 7th 2025In this episode, we meet with Micah Lieberman, Executive Conference Director for SCOPE Summit (Summit for Clinical Ops Executives) at Cambridge Innovation Institute. We will dive deep into the critical role of collaboration within the clinical research ecosystem. How do we bring together diverse stakeholders—sponsors, CROs, clinical trial tech innovators, suppliers, patients, sites, advocacy organizations, investors, and non-profits—to share best practices in trial design, program planning, innovation, and clinical operations? We’ll explore why it’s vital for thought leaders to step beyond their own organizations and learn from others, exchanging ideas that drive advancements in clinical research. Additionally, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of scientific conferences like SCOPE Summit in fostering these essential connections and collaborations, helping shape the future of clinical trials. Join us as we uncover how collective wisdom and cross-industry partnerships are transforming the landscape of clinical research.
