Bill Bellows
Profits, Pragmatism, and the Possibilities of Possessing 'Other Eyes' - In this powerful session, Dr. Bellows asks: Are profits a goal, or a result? Challenging the dominant paradigm of management, he explores how sustainable success comes not from chasing profits alone, but from investing in people, systems, innovation, and thoughtful collaboration.
Doris Raith

The presentation highlights the gap between actual regulatory expectations and internal over-interpretation.
Denise Lacey
The QA role was born in a factory and adopted by clinical research, but the approaches we’ve inherited are sometimes an awkward fit for the sprawling, ever-changing clinical research environment. This session will shed some light on why we in GCP QA do what we do and what we might change to better serve our study participants, study teams, and leadership.
