CDISC Balkan's Roadshow - February 19, 2009
The European CDISC Co-ordinating Committee (E3C) is proud to announce that the first roadshow in Eastern Europe will be held in Sofia on Thursday 19th February 2009. Invitations will span across all Balkan countries and registration is made via the CDISC website.
Program Goals:
We are on a mission to make the adoption of CDISC standards as simple and pain free as possible. Adoption has been underpinned by a network of CDISC User Groups which creates a strong backbone of support and enhances information flow throughout our continent. The E3C also recognises the importance of training to promote the understanding of these standards and how the efficiency of data exchange can be improved. Our message is being conveyed in various ways with the roadshow proving most effective in broadening our audience. Attendees receive overviews of each model, an update on CDISC activities and hear of the realities of implementation from users with practical experience. The objective is to raise delegates' awareness of the purposes of each standard of how they might positively impact their own operations.
Business & Decision look forward to contribute in making this a successful event that meets your needs. Our certified CDISC trainer will present a speaker slot about CDISC's Submission Data Tabulation Model (SDTM).
See you in the Sofia Room at the Grand Hotel in Sofia on the 19th February 2009!
