Duke Health is committed to advancing global health through research, education, and equitable care. The Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics at Duke University School of Medicine is proud to host the 2027 Duke Industry Statistics Symposium (DISS2027). Since 2013, when the first symposium was held, DISS has a long history of fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and regulatory agencies.

DISS2026 is scheduled for April 21 – 23, 2027, at the Executive Briefing Center on the SAS Institute Inc. campus, in Cary, North Carolina. This year’s symposium is titled “The New Frontier of Clinical Evidence: Driving Efficiency and Rigor Through AI and Modern Trial Designs.”

To keep registration accessible, particularly for participants from academia and government, we rely on the generous support of our sponsors. We invite your organization to contribute through a grant or donation to help make the in-person symposium possible. 

(Please note that all funds will be used strictly for conference-related expenses and will not be used to pay or benefit any U.S. individuals, entities or Health Care Providers.)

To recognize our sponsors and their vital contributions, we offer the following tiered sponsorship opportunities, along with complementary participation in OpportuNet: DISS2027 Networking Fair:
