PHT Home > 2012 PRO and ePRO Congress: Event Justification
Event Justification Letter
Dear [Manager's Name],
Please consider this request to attend PHT's 2012 Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) & Electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO) Congress in June, an exclusive two?day educational and networking event for clinical trial professionals.
The program will enable me to gain a full understanding of how clinical, data management, regulatory, and outsourcing functional groups benefit and work with PRO and ePRO data; and help me to become an internal leader in assessing and implementing PRO and ePRO at our organization. With this insightful knowledge, I can help our teams assess their PRO data needs, expedite study set?up times and reduce time monitoring and analyzing data.
This is the 16th program of its kind and it is expected that most of the top 20 pharma companies will
send delegates. Former attendees report significant productivity gains from the content and peer
interaction. As the market leader in PRO and ePRO, PHT historically conveys a balanced view of the
PROs and CONs of using technology to collect endpoint data directly from patients. The program is
designed to inform all user levels of PRO and ePRO. Professionals from functional areas including
clinical operations, data management, regulatory affairs, outsourcing, eClinical technologies and Health Outcomes participate and present at the meeting, as well as, PRO and ePRO thought leaders, regulators and sites.
The PHT PRO & ePRO Congress will take place 12-14 June 2012 at the Les Trésoms Hotel in Annecy, FR. Attendees at last year's Congress made the following statements about this event:
- 100% would recommend this program to a friend or colleague
- 100% rated the 2011 Congress content as 'very valuable'
- 90% felt they got a strong value for the registration fee
- 98% could justify the Congress based on the simple purpose to "network with other companies involved with PRO/ePRO'
Thank you in advance for your consideration, and please let me know if you need additional information on specific conference opportunities and activities. The total anticipated cost of this investment:
- €400 Congress Fee* (includes meals Tuesday evening through Thursday lunch)
- €258 Hotel (2 nights)
- €300 Estimated Transportation Expense
- €50 Estimated Misc. Travel food, Internet
Total cost: €1,008
Similar industry conferences have registration fees over €1500 along with similar travel expenses. As such, the PRO/ePRO Congress represents a strong value for the total investment vs. similar industry events. I look forward to your positive response to my request.
Sincerely,
PS The registration fee is waived for new PHT customers in 2011 who send 2 people, as well as, all previous PRO & ePRO Congress attendees.
