The OpenClinica community has proven once again its passion for innovation and knowledge sharing. We received a record number of abstracts exemplifying the OC17 theme, Making the Complex Simple. Best of all, the diversity of expertise among our community yielded a set of sessions that covers a wide swath of data management challenges and solutions. To claim that OC17 “has it all” would be a cliché (and, given the breadth of our field, an obvious exaggeration). But with sessions on pseudonymization, patient registries, biobanking, medical imaging integration, and more, this year’s conference will deliver case studies and how-to’s that almost certainly bear on your research. So let me an offer another, more defensible, another cliché: OC17 has something–and more likely two or three things–for everyone.
