It’s official! We have now opened bookings for the next EDGE Conference – EVOLVE: Engage. Embrace. Empower. The EDGE 3-focused event, EVOLVE, is taking place on the 24th-25th April 2024 at the Vox in Birmingham, England, UK, and will follow the global rollout of EDGE 3. We have used the Vox for two previous conferences and it’s a venue that really works for us. It’s spacious, modern, and has all the breakout and conference rooms close together, making it nice and easy for delegates to get to the sessions they want to attend. We are extremely excited to be returning next year for our 6th EDGE Conference and are expecting it to be the biggest one yet as the conference grows bigger and bigger year on year.
To mark the grand occasion of the conference’s return, we are currently running a special Early Bird discount, giving 15% off ticket prices. If you want to secure this incredible rate, you must book by the 3rd July, so get booking now! We also have a group discount for bookings of 5 or more delegates from the same organisation. This fantastic offer of ‘book 4 places and get the 5th free’ is running until the event date to encourage organisations to send more EDGE Users so they can benefit from the conference’s learning and development opportunities. More information on how to book can be found here.
We are currently going through speaker submissions and working on putting together a draft agenda, but here is a sneak peek on what you can expect from the event. The EVOLVE conference is the opportunity for Users to reunite with other members of the EDGE community for 2 days of training, learning, and skill sharing. Topics will be suited to all types of EDGE Users, including Admin, Users, and those with expert knowledge, as well as those who are just getting started! The conference programme will provide sessions for all types of research departments, including R&D and support departments such as Pharmacy and Clinical teams.
User-led sessions will encourage learning and development of EDGE knowledge as experiences and best practice is shared, including tips and tricks for using different functionalities of EDGE 3, such as finance, reports, and workflows (just to name a few). You can also expect to hear from an array of inspiring healthcare and research keynote speakers from across the field, as well as receiving an EDGE 3 update from the team here at CIRU.
The aim of EVOLVE is for Users to Engage and Embrace the new version of EDGE and leave feeling ready to Empower their new skills and knowledge learnt!
We welcome Users to attend from across the globe and encourage non-EDGE subscribers to join us, as it is a great opportunity to see how EDGE can benefit your research world. Ready to sign up? Find out more here.
