The LEAP Difference
We believe the traditional conference format is no longer fit for purpose, so we started from scratch.
When you look at the event agenda, you will see three main types of session:
DISCOVER
DEVELOP
ACTION
Hear the boldest HR leaders in life sciences sharing the stories of what they’re doing to maximise the impact of their business.
Have your burning questions answered in a room full of your peers and move beyond the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ to get to the ‘how’.
Work with your team to set a clear, bespoke action plan of what you are going to change when you get back to your business to ensure you get a fast ROI.
LEAP HR: Life Sciences Europe is designed by and for people leaders from the pre-commercial biotech to the multinational pharmaceutical, to come together as industry peers, share insights and expose experiences so that the drugs and devices saving people’s lives every day across the globe can continue to do just that, whatever the circumstances.
Those taking part will be able to use the learnings and insights gained to emerge from this uncertain time with greater resilience, enabling life sciences organisations to continue getting better drugs and devices to patients, faster.
