Please join Oracle Health Science strategists and solution experts in Utrecht on September 12-13 for our first European face-to-face meeting of the Oracle Safety Consortium, which replaces the Oracle Safety Focus Group meetings held in past years. Oracle Argus and Oracle Health Sciences Empirica product updates and demos, and pharmacovigilance hot topics will be discussed. We'll explore how Artificial Intelligence will revolutionise case processing in the coming years, the latest in drug safety regulations, and look at the benefits of moving to the cloud. The Consortium program will include break-out sessions for our Working Groups as well. This meeting is for Oracle Safety customers, and registration is monitored. Attendance is free of charge, but space is limited, so we encourage you to register early to secure your place. Please see the “Accomodation” tab for details of local recommended hotels. This meeting is held right after World Drug Safety Congress, taking place in close-by Amsterdam September 10-11. Please consider combining the two meetings to enhance your time in the Netherlands. Oracle staff will present at and attend WDSC, so it's a great opportunity to continue the conversation with us as well as getting a wider safety perspective. We invite all delegates to join us for an evening networking event at the end of day one. Please indicate whether you plan to join us when you register. Please contact the Safety Consortium Team should you have any questions regarding this meeting and register now to secure your place.
