MORE THAN A CONFERENCE

An event built to inspire progress and strengthen the future of clinical research together.

We are excited to welcome you to Austin for SOS 2027! While the full agenda and session details will be announced soon, we wanted to share a preview of the conference experience so you can begin planning your travel arrangements.

What to Expect at SOS 2027

Thursday, February 18, 2027 — Welcome Gathering & Networking

Location: The Commons Event Center & Café | Atrium ||

Time: TBD

We'll kick off SOS 2027 with a casual pre-conference welcome gathering in the evening. Building on the success of last year's event, this gathering is designed to give attendees and sponsors additional time to connect, reconnect, and begin meaningful conversations before the conference officially begins.

Sponsors will be setting up their exhibit spaces earlier that afternoon, so the evening gathering is a great opportunity to meet our sponsors, explore the exhibit hall, and network with fellow attendees in a relaxed setting.

Friday, February 19 & Saturday, February 20, 2027 Conference Programming

The main SOS 2027 conference programming will take place on Friday and Saturday, featuring engaging sessions, interactive workshops, panel discussions, and opportunities to spend time exploring the exhibit hall and connect with our sponsors

More details, including the full agenda and session schedule, will be shared soon.

To make the most of your SOS 2027 experience, we recommend keeping Thursday evening in mind when booking your flights and hotel accommodations so you can take full advantage of the conference from the start. Visit our Travel & Stay page

Planning Your Trip

The SOS Experience

Together, we will exchange experiences, identify solutions, and advance conversations that support more efficient, inclusive, and sustainable clinical trials. Whether you are looking to build new partnerships, gain actionable insights, or reconnect with peers who understand the realities of site-based research, this event is designed to inspire progress and strengthen the future of clinical research together.

Collectively, the SOS Co-Founders bring more than 70 years of site operations experience, experience across sponsors and CROs, and decades of involvement in some of the industry's most influential educational, professional, and community-building initiatives.

At SOS, we intentionally design networking experiences that encourage interaction rather than observation. Your pace. Your brand. Your community.

Sponsorship is more than brand exposure; it is the opportunity to be part of an experience people remember, a place people return to, and a gathering that continues to shape the future of clinical research long after the final session.

Partnering with SOS means stepping into a community that is active, engaged, and intentional about connection. This is where relationships are built, ideas are exchanged, and impact continues well beyond the event itself.
