18th Annual Clinical Trial Supply West Coast 2026

An 18th-annual, roughly 200-attendee clinical trial supply chain conference run by Arena International for the Northern California pharma and biotech cluster. The agenda spans demand forecasting, global comparator sourcing, clinical packaging and labeling, and temperature-controlled storage and distribution, including sessions on delivering temperature-sensitive biologics to patients.

Cold chain and clinical logistics professionals use it to benchmark how sponsors and CDMOs are handling temperature-sensitive biologic delivery, comparator supply bottlenecks, and distribution risk. It is a working venue for the practical detail of moving investigational product to trial sites and patients under GDP conditions rather than a headline product show.

Attendees are clinical supply chain, logistics, and packaging leads from Bay Area biotech and pharma sponsors, alongside CDMOs, depots, and specialist cold chain logistics providers. Seniority skews to managers, directors, and heads of clinical supply operations, with solution providers making up the vendor side of the room.
