Outstanding gathering of multidisciplinary Biotech leaders. A must attend if you are at leadership level, an aspiring leader, or just someone who wants to have impact in Life Sciences and Biotech.
The BIA Women in Biotech event was outstanding. The location was full of outstanding female business leaders who openly shared their stories, highs, lows, insights and advice. As a male observer it was a great opportunity to listen, learn, adapt and take the learnings away to be a better advocate and ally. in the future. The panels and topics chosen were thought provoking, positive and rich in valuable content and commentary. A must attend event.
My heart sank initially listening to the outcomes of the C-Suite representation report and in the end my heart sang seeing connections being strengthened through being together , emboldening each to move beyond the data to courageous collaborative action steps we can now take from having heard inspiring stories - our voices matter
