This year’s North American Interchange stood out for many as a high quality and informative event: “The Interchange this year provided a very positive environment.”  “The presentations were fresh and informative.” Just a couple of the comments we heard.

The Interchange saw approximately 300 attendees from far and wide, offering excellent networking and learning opportunities, with a 2-day conference and 3 days of educational courses and meetings at the Renaissance Harborplace.  We were pleased to be well supported by sponsors and we would like to publically thank them for their generosity. The lunches, which were kindly supported by SAS, took place amongst many exhibit booths and posters, and we were delighted that Oracle sponsored the Conference itself.   

Our evening reception was at The Maryland Science, which included a fabulous crabcake sundae bar amidst dinosaur bones and other scientific displays.  The networking event was enjoyed by Interchange attendees on Wednesday evening and again we would like to thank HP for its generous support.  

Other Interchange event sponsors included Business & Decision who kindly provided our lanyards, Percept Pharma Services sponsored our breaks for Tuesday’s training and Medidata Solutions who kindly supported the printing of the program.

We would also like to thank our exhibitors who play such a vital part in ensuring the event’s success providing attendees with information about a diverse range of products and services. This year we had 20 exhibitors a very high number indeed, reflecting the increasing interest in CDISC.

Should you have any feedback or comments about our events, please feel free post a comment here or to send an email to Diana el Harakeh. Of course we look forward to seeing you all again soon at our next Interchange in Europe in April, at one of our many training courses, or indeed in Baltimore in 2011!
