Since the very first PHUSE Connect, our Community has been at the heart of every event.
Now held annually in Europe, the US and, following the success of our inaugural event earlier this year, the APAC region, PHUSE Connects bring together more than 700 professionals from across the clinical research and data science industry. While our events continue to grow, what makes them special remains the same – a welcoming environment where people come together to learn, collaborate and build lasting connections.
1 – Diversity and Networking
One of the things our attendees value most is the opportunity to connect with industry peers. Whether you’re meeting someone for the first time, reconnecting with an old colleague or making a new friend, PHUSE Connects offer a welcoming sense of community.
We’ve also expanded our networking opportunities beyond the conference sessions, with social and wellness activities designed to help attendees connect in ways that suit them.
2 – Quality Content
As our Community has grown, so has the quality of our agenda. Every Connect is shaped by the expertise of our members, with record numbers of abstract submissions reflecting their enthusiasm to share knowledge and best practices.
We’ve recently introduced video submissions as part of our speaker selection process, to help us build engaging conferences that combine outstanding presenters with relevant, high-quality content.
3 – Collaboration and Growth
Our Connects continue to evolve thanks to the passion, ideas and feedback of our Community. Every conversation, presentation and collaboration helps shape not only our events, but the future of our industry. Whether you’re attending to learn something new, share your expertise, or be part of a supportive global Community, there’s a place for you at PHUSE.
Our record-breaking numbers speak for themselves – the US Connect 2026 welcomed 852 attendees, while the APAC Connect 2026 saw 523 abstract submissions — highlighting both continued growth and an increasingly engaged, knowledge-sharing network.
