The December FOCM | GLSA Networking Event

The December FOCM | GLSA Networking event started out with welcoming everyone and a review of these meetings’ agendas summarized below. 

For the newcomers, think of this as an open house event – drop in when you can and leave when you need to; when we have a topic and presenter we have them start when we have assembled a good number of people and that’s usually 10-15 minutes after the start. 

There were several (ahem) looking holiday sweaters and pets were welcome as well. Candy Dupree won best outfit hands down.

As our passion is to connect people and companies we know and like to other people and companies we know and like, we asked everyone to put into the chat the link to their LinkedIn profile. This allows for quick and simple connecting and facilitates future follow up.

We opened the event sharing industry updates, news, and/or gossip that anyone wanted to bring up. Chris shared that GLSA has contracted with two new clients: Validcare and Cool Chain to help them in their promotional and sales efforts. Validcare is disrupting clinical research as The Digital 1st CRO with fixed price study management. Cool Chain has shipping containers that can maintain a specified internal container temperature for over 120 hours, be that sub zero frozen, frozen, refrigerated or room temperature. One of our clients, Heal Mary, a SaaS AI enhanced patient recruitment and access platform has been awarded a project from a company we introduced them to and that will begin in February.

The group chose not to go into smaller breakout sessions, so we stayed in one room and talked about the holidays and what people’s plans were. We acknowledged the industry begins to get quite busy by the third week of January and we’re bracing for it.
