Last month, Sparta Systems reunited in person for the highly anticipated return of Sparta Connection.
Attendees gathered at the JW Marriott Bonnet Creek Resort and Spa in Orlando, Florida, for sessions and workshops that provided insights into best practices, new innovations and the latest market trends. These sessions focused on areas around optimizing your QMS investment, digital quality transformation and innovations in proactive quality and the connected life sciences.
Attendees heard from a speaker lineup that included featured guests from the FDA, KPMG and Amazon Web Services as well Sparta customers who shared their TrackWise and TrackWise Digital stories. Sparta Connection also provided the opportunity for attendees to sign up for additional training sessions to amplify their use of TrackWise Digital.
The 2022 theme focused on how quality and technology drives the speed, value and growth needed to keep up with the pace of innovation. In keeping with this theme, the program offered compelling and interactive discussions, thought-provoking keynote speakers, focused breakout sessions, a product demo theater, hands-on training sessions and extensive networking opportunities to provide life sciences and quality professionals with the tools, knowledge and insight needed to drive value with quality.
