Creative Disruption Forum - Dealmaking & Investment Strategies

Firstly, we are delighted to collaborate with Arc Oxford on Garsington Road, Oxford OX42SU who are letting us use their venue for our thirteenth Creative Disruption Forum (CDF). This is for industry thought leaders, business leaders (CXOs), and R&D Directors of emerging biotech and biopharma companies, investors, service companies, our future and aspiring leaders plus anyone else who is interested and curious.

10am – 5.15pm BST 15 October 2025 + Add to calendar Oxford Arc Oxford, Garsington Road, Oxford OX42SU

This Creative Disruption Forum (CDF) is a discussion fora about the latest dealmaking and investment strategies working for life sciences innovation companies. For this we will have a number of well seasoned and successful life science sector keynotes in the morning that will set the tone for the day along with interaction from the participants. Then after a light lunch we will have afternoon workshops to discuss the topics of the day, which will culminate in general discussions. The purpose is to help our community build business relationships with like-minded individuals, to learn from each other and have some fun in the process through open and authentic dialogue with no information dumps. These discussions are conducted under Chatham House Rules so that we can be ourselves in a trusted space and not be quoted or misquoted outside of the event :)
