The Next Frontier of the Life Sciences

Session Information

Day 1: Wed., October 25th 1pm - 3:30pm EDT

1pm Featured keynote — Fostering breakthrough science: Innovation is the backbone of biotech. In this keynote, our industry leader will discuss what it takes to create an innovative culture and how companies can turn scientific breakthroughs into a pipeline that goes the distance.

1:25pm Panel discussion: After our keynote, join C-suite leaders from the industry who will discuss the state of innovation and how to “future proof” your pipeline.


Next, attendees can choose from the following concurrent sessions:
Track 1 - 2:10pm - 3:30pm - Building a biotech startup: Young biotech companies must contend with a down market that’s all but closed the IPO window.

Then, biotech executives and investors will share lessons learned from this challenging environment in our second session.
Track 2 - 2:10pm - 3:30pm - Genetic medicine: This year could bring the first approval of a CRISPR medicine. Behind it is an ever-growing pipeline of therapies with many twists on gene editing. In Session 1, get an understanding of what’s next for the field, followed by our second session covering what it will actually take to get these drugs to patients.

Next, attendees can choose from the following concurrent sessions:
Track 1 - 2:10pm - 3:40pm - Research hot spots: New Alzheimer’s and ALS drugs have put neuroscience research back in focus, while Ozempic and Wegovy sparked an industry gold rush for the next weight loss treatment. Join these two back-to-back sessions to learn what’s driving these fields forward.

Track 2 - 2:10pm - 3:40pm - Commercialization: As emerging technologies transform drug commercialization, it’s an opportune time for companies to explore their plans for launch.
