Exclusive Workshop | May 5, Barcelona
European Research Revolution 2026
Why many clinical trials still run on email—and what’s changing
Florence is hosting a private Pre-OCT workshop for senior clinical operations leaders on May 5th at Hotel Porta Fira in Barcelona.
Join a select group of senior clinical operations leaders from across Europe’s pharmaceutical and biotech sectors for a discussion -based workshop addressing challenges facing the European trial market.
What You’ll Walk Away With
- Proven strategies to improve site adoption and oversight across multi-country trials
- Real-world examples of AI and integrations in production (not pilots)
- Peer benchmarks from global clinical trial technology adoption data

The Challenge
Across Europe, most trials still rely on email, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems. It works, but with delays, duplicated effort, and limited visibility into site performance. As trials become more complex, this approach is harder to sustain. It also limits meaningful AI application since underlying operational data is often incomplete or fragmented.
Florence’s latest State of Clinical Trials Technology report highlights the issue: only a small proportion of sponsors have full, real-time visibility into site operations. As the eISF category leader, connecting 65,000+ sites and 600+ sponsors and CROs globally, Florence brings a direct view into how these challenges play out across trials in practice.
A Workshop. Not Presentations
Our discussion will be grounded in findings from Florence’s State of Clinical Trial Technology global report and focuses on three areas:
The operational gap: Where email and fragmented processes introduce friction across trials and how to successfully cross the technology chasm
AI in practice: Where it delivers value today and where it remains constrained by data and workflows
Continuous site intelligence: How leading organizations build a continuous view of site performance instead of relying on the study-by-study model
