Member Testimonials
“I am engaged in the QMF workstream and members of my team are involved with the Metrics and Inspection Readiness workstreams. This has afforded me the opportunity to deepen my collaboration with colleagues and to network with others on the key issues facing them in the industry today.”
“The interactions I have had on AQC initiatives has challenged my thinking, inspired me to try different approaches to quality and enabled me to influence the direction of best practices in the selection and oversight of service providers.”
“I have been part of the centralized RFI and Diligent efforts. I have learned a great deal from fellow Member companies and we are able to apply the standards as we are starting the process of looking for an IRT vendor.”
“The Consortium strives to deliver the highest level of quality. This is my 5th year and I keep coming back because there is fabulous material and wonderful people.”
“The AQC is a forum where sponsors, CROs, technology providers, and other companies get a chance to participate on a level where everybody is treated as an equal, everybody is listened to, and we all learn collectively. There are not a lot of forums that provide that in the industry and I find it particularly useful.”
“The AQC brings great value for the money, but it isn’t about the money. The AQC provides the roadmap to quality.”
“The AQC is a great sounding board for the industry pressures and challenges we face and a great place to network and come together collaboratively.”
“The AQC is a wonderful array of interesting, engaged, passionate, thoughtful people coming from all areas of the Clinical Trials ecosystem.”
