Navigating Change,
Guided by Trust.
The SCDM 2027 EMEA Conference, proudly hosted by Pfizer in Athens, brings the clinical data community together at a moment of profound change for clinical research. AI is transforming how data is generated and reviewed, trials are decentralising, and real-world data and evolving regulation are reshaping what we collect and why.
Navigating change means embracing these possibilities without losing sight of what makes clinical data valuable: confidence in the data, the evidence and the decisions they support. Guided by trust, the clinical data community will come together in Athens to explore what these changes mean in practice, strengthen the expertise and judgement needed to respond, and build the confidence to help shape what comes next. Because that is ultimately what Influencing with Authority is about.

Still influencing with authority.
The EMEA Conference is where the profession in this region comes together to help shape where clinical research is heading. Athens is where we do it next.
What people say
What stood out the most was collaborative spirit-participants and presenters alike were open to sharing knowledge, best practices and real world solutions to the challenges we face in CDM. The focus on data quality, emerging technologies like AI, and insights from regulators made the content highly relevant and practical. I highly recommend this conference to the CDM professional.

Senior Clinical Data Manager, Immunic AGAttending SCDM EMEA 2026 was a fantastic experience. The conference brought together a great mix of industry experts, innovative ideas, and practical discussions around the future of clinical data management. I particularly enjoyed the conversations around AI, data quality, and emerging technologies, as well as the opportunity to connect with peers facing similar challenges. It was an inspiring event that provided valuable insights and plenty of ideas to takeback and apply in our day-to-day work.

Senior Director, Bioforum, the Data MastersI have to applaud the organization and the framework that is offered by SCDM; it is absolutely great to find a community that fosters belonging and keeping an open mind. I attend in 2025 in Brussels and came back in 2026 in Copenhagen with very high expectations; and I have to say they were met and exceeded! Hope to have the opportunity to join again in Athens.
