Meet 1:1 with Patients at the AskthePatients

​​​​​​​Center during DPHARM 2024

We’re thrilled to continue the AskthePatients onsite program at the 14th Annual DPHARM Conference. 

AskthePatients offers a unique opportunity for attendees to engage in 1:1 discussions with patients or caregivers who have actively participated in clinical trials. On-site, you can sign up to schedule a 15-minute, one-on-one meeting with the participating patient advocates on Tuesday, September 17th during the morning and afternoon breaks and at lunch. Their expertise spans from managing or caregiving for someone with a chronic disease, rare condition, kidney disease or cancer to experience in using digital technology in trials, and more.

All meetings will take place at the AskthePatients Center located at the rear of the Exhibit Hall. To sign up, visit the AskthePatients table located next to Registration.​​​​​​​
