NECSO — Waltham brings New England's clinical supplies community into one room for one day that pays for itself by lunch. The New England Clinical Supplies Organization was founded in May 2010 by Steve Jacobs, after New England's clinical supply professionals asked for what California already had. It's a day-long forum where the densest biotech corridor on earth learns from expert speakers and from each other. Breakfast, lunch, and a closing networking reception are included.

Who it's for: Clinical supplies, supply chain, CMC, and clinical operations professionals at the sponsors that make Boston/Cambridge the center of the biotech world — from seed-stage startups writing their first SOPs to the largest pharma companies on the planet — plus the vendors, CMOs, and logistics partners who serve them.

Why attend:

• 4–5 expert-led sessions on today's realities — every session curated by Steve; educational, never sales pitches

• Panel discussions with industry leaders, moderated by Steve — roughly 60–95 peers in the room

• Candid peer benchmarking you can't get from a webinar

• Breakfast, lunch, and a closing networking reception included

• Come early: add the 3-day Foundations (Basics) Course (Mon–Wed) and your event seat is included — $1,500
