Welcome to the Abstract Submission Portal of the SCDM 2021 Annual Conference


The Society for Clinical Data Management (SCDM) Programme Committee invites submissions from CDM experts to be considered for a speaking opportunity at the SCDM 2021 Annual Conference. Abstract submission must demonstrate a link to the theme of the SCDM 2021 Annual Conference - Future Now: v2.021 


With the COVID pandemic a fixture in our lives and 20:20 hindsight, we look back on last year and ask ourselves: what did we get right, where were we nimble and where did we push our boundaries? We continue to ask these questions and more as we up-version today and make the future a reality! We continue to pivot, re-write the narrative and move forward, potentially beyond our comfort levels, to adopt and embrace change in our data science industry at the global scale.

The seven conference themes give an idea of how CDM leaders plan on addressing new opportunities and challenges. They provide a perspective on what CDMs value and what they don’t. They drive home the message that if the past has taught us anything, something entirely off the radar can challenge the status quo, and that its down to the SCDM community to continue writing the narrative. Together, they show innovative ways to shift the paradigm immediately. The Future is Now. And it's v2.021 - be part of it!
