The future is here! This year's US Connect promises to be nothing short of revolutionary. The 9 *NEW* Connect Streams, PHUSE/FDA Innovation Challenge and sponsorship networking opportunities all contribute to making this event fresh, topical and relevant. Keep your eyes peeled in Q1 for further updates on what's in store.

Join us in May and register your place before 31 January to benefit from the Early Bird discounted rate.

The PHUSE/FDA Innovation Challenge will be held at the US Connect. We have 16 thought-provoking solutions submitted across the three pillars which address industry needs such as using affordable and innovative technology approaches for the collection of clinical data.

Sponsorship opportunities are already filling! We have new physical event sponsorship on offer, from a Speed Networking Event to the Connect Café, so take a look at the prospectus and support the work of a PHUSE Connect.

Save the date for 2022's EU Connect, which will take place 13–16 November in Belfast, UK. We can't wait to welcome our EU attendees back in person this year after a very successful hybrid EU Connect in 2021.

Start planning your abstracts for Call for Papers, which will be opening in March. Build collective knowledge by collaborating with peers on addressing an important industry topic to share with the PHUSE Community.

Sponsorship and exhibition packages are now available. Contact events@phuse.global for full information.

Welcome to another year of PHUSE Single Day Events! SDEs are a perfect way to get a quick hit of valuable information on a particular hot topic within the industry, and remain free to attend.

The first SDE of the year, the India Spring SDE, will take place virtually in March. Following this, 2022 SDEs will take a hybrid format where possible. 

Be sure to take a look at the 2021 Summary Blog to see what themes were explored last year. Or, better still, attend the January Webinar Wednesday, where Katja Glass, Katja Glass Consulting, will be giving an overview of her 'Open Source in Pharma – What's Going On?' presentation from the 'Staying FAIR' theme at the EMEA Winter SDE.

The Data Transparency Events for 2022 will take place in February and June. First up is the Winter Event, 8–10 February. Registration is free and open to all, so secure your place now.

There are already seven exciting presentations confirmed on the agenda, including updates from regulatory agencies such as Health Canada and the EMA. 

If you would like to support the advancement of this field, then become an event sponsor and take advantage of benefits such as online company exposure, or your company video played live at the event.

Invest in the development of you and your colleagues in 2022! Supporter benefits range from event discounts to free job advertising on our website. If you would like to renew your package for this year, or become a PHUSE Supporter, contact community@phuse.global.
