“The interest we have had in the Asia-Pacific/Japan Interchange this year is unprecedented,” stated Dr. Rebecca Kush, CDISC President and CEO. “This increase in attendance at all of our global Interchanges certainly reflects how the industry is beginning to accept and move more rapidly toward CDISC standards adoption. The high quality of our speakers and topics and the usability of the content presented at our conferences has also been a major factor in the increased awareness and growth.”
