Record Retention Reality Check

This facilitated dialogue tackles a growing breaking point for research sites: record retention after regulatory obligations end. Most sites lack the infrastructure to support long-term storage, and electronic archiving has proven far more complex and costly than expected. Yet contractual pressure continues to rise. Bringing together site leaders, sponsors, and CROs, this session confronts why current practices are failing, examines what is driving retention demands, and works toward practical, shared solutions that reduce burden on sites while meeting regulatory needs.
