Partnership Southern Equity

Such a strong collaboration between sponsors, CROs, Government, Academia, and patient advocates was on display with a shared passion in taking the required actions to solve for patient diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). What was affirmed for me is that Workplace Diversity and Patient Diversity are inextricably linked in achieving DEI

Karnel R Walker, Executive Alliance Director, Biopharma Partnerships, Clinical Research Group, Thermo Fisher Scientific

The event demonstrated what a small group of people dedicated to health equity can do to drive engagement in the important discussion about diversity in clinical trials

Molly Madziva, Sr. Director, Global Clinical Affairs, Viz.Ai

A great opportunity to connect with leaders across the healthcare industry who are doing necessary work to help close the health equity gap. It was helpful, reaffirming, and inspiring to better understand the perspectives and actionable strategies different organizations are taking.

Matthew Howard, Senior Director and DEI Lead, Vynamic

The inaugural Health Equity Congress brought colleagues from across the industry together for the first time. It was wonderful to hear successes, best practices and how we could all continue to work together.

LaShell Robinson, Senior Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Clinical Research, Takeda

This event provided me an opportunity to speak with health equity leaders that I would not have had a chance to meet at larger conferences. I appreciated that although the conference was solely focused on Health Equity, that there was still broad diversity across topics. Really enjoyed my time!

Nader Daoud, Sr. Manager, Clinical Trial Diversity & Inclusion, Moderna

It was so energizing being amongst the health equity thought and practice leaders from across the globe!

Leigh Boehmer, Oncology Clinical Pharmacy Specialist, Association of Community Cancer Centers

Rarely have I witnessed an ENTIRE congress dedicated to DEI initiatives, impact, and future perspectives. Historically having a session focused on DEI was either non-existent or crammed at the end when most attendees would be shuffling to airport to get home. Therefore, I highly recommend this congress not only for learning but for reaffirming one’s mission towards health equity for all.

Denise Bronner, Ph.D., Director, Diversity & Inclusion in Clinical Trials, Janssen

Without a doubt, one of the best conferences I've ever attended. Speakers were all excellent; shared real examples of what they're doing to make a difference. Audience was highly engaged.

Cathleen Peipher, Senior Manager, Global Medical Affairs, Incyte
