Business Research International

Business Research International (BRI) was a specialized provider of professional training, conferences, and strategic consulting services for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, the company was particularly well-known for its expertise in clinical trial billing, compliance, and regulatory affairs. BRI hosted industry-leading events, most notably the Clinical Trial Billing and Compliance conference, which became a standard-setting forum for life science professionals. Its programs were designed to help organizations navigate complex regulatory environments and optimize their clinical research operations. In August 2010, the company was acquired by ExL Pharma (now part of Questex), which integrated BRI's portfolio into its broader life sciences event and education offerings.
