# The AI Inflection Point: 2026 State of Clinical Trials

The AI Inflection Point: 2026 State of Clinical Trial Technology ON-DEMAND WEBINAR The AI Inflection Point: 2026 State of Clinical Trial Technology Industry Perspectives Florence’s annual report is back, and we’re ready to share the results with you on February 17 at 11 a.m. ET. Join us as we share findings from a global survey of  400+ sites, sponsors, and CROs —and unpack what the data reveals about where trial execution is breaking down, what distinguishes leading organizations, and what priorities will matter most in 2026. Hosted by  Florence Chief Clinical Trial Officer Catherine Gregor  and  Florence CEO Ryan Jones , this session translates the data into clear, practical guidance for clinical operations leaders. In this webinar, you will learn: 1. How to cross the chasm More sites must cross the digital divide by owning systems or using sponsor-provided technology that reduces paper and email and produces operational data as work happens. The leading best-of-breed clinical trial technologies create access and insights where work gets done. 2. How to prepare for the next Wave of Site Operation Technologies Participant payments, feasibility, recruitment, lab management, contracts, image management, investigational product management and participant consent all have greater than 20% site ownership this year. 3. How and when to experiment with AI  AI experimentation is critical and adopters are testing AI on highly manual tasks where a) human effort is greatest and b) data already exists. These early experiments are about learning where digitization, data quality, governance and connectivity must improve to support broader usage. 4. How to invest in Persistent Intelligence To move from manual oversight to continuous insight, organizations must break the study-by-study execution model. Building longitudinal tools and datasets for site performance, capacity, readiness and execution history to inform smarter feasibility.
