Attendance. Conference registration fees cover all meeting activities. Save with early-bird specials. You may attend any session in any track, workshops, and all conference networking functions – luncheons, networking breaks, evening reception, and more! Dress is business casual. Meeting rooms can be cool, so bring a sweater or light jacket. If you have special needs, e.g. dietary or handicapped access, contact:

  • Marisa Colandrea, Director of Meeting Planning & Logistics, iiBIG
    212-300-2522 or info@iibig.com

Business Development Opportunities. If your firm provides solutions to clinical trial sponsors, sites or CROs, a conference partnership offers you the opportunity to increase your visibility and meet decision-makers in a focused audience. MAGI calls sponsors and exhibitors "partners" because you contribute to the educational content of the meeting. Because the focus of our exhibit area is education, rather than commerce, conference attendees visit exhibits to find out what they can learn. If you confirm your partnership early, a speaking role may be available. For more information, contact:

  • Kellie Swanstrom, VP Business Development, iiBIG
    973-571-0867 or     info@iibig.com

Speaking Opportunities. Some MAGI speakers are world-renowned experts in their fields; others are just experts. What they all have in common is a passion for clinical research and the generosity to share what they know. If you would like to speak at a future MAGI conference, contact the conference chairman:

Professional Certification. MAGI meetings are the exclusive venue for Clinical Research Contract Professional (CRCP) certification exams. Demonstrate your professional competence to your employer, colleagues, negotiating partners, and yourself.

New: Continuing Education Credits
Nursing continuing education (CNE) credits will be available. Relevant CNE hours qualify not just for nursing, but also for ACRP, APPI, NAIM, PMI, PRIM&R, RACC, RAPS and SoCRA hours. For CLE credits, check with your state board.

Personalized Schedule and Slide Book. Use our online system to create your own personalized schedule and book of conference materials, including a table of contents, customized certificate of attendance, and numbered pages. With the online networking module, you can contact other participants who share your interests. (Confirmed participants will receive unique user-name and log-in instructions approximately one month before the event)
