ABOUT
LEAP HR: LIFE SCIENCES EUROPE RETURNING IN 2026
This conference isn’t just unique in offering an industry-specific platform for the most progressive HR leaders to maximise their own business value; it’s also unique in that it rips up the rulebook of traditional conferences.
We believe the traditional conference format is no longer fit for purpose, so we started from scratch.
How it Works
When you look at the agenda, you will see three main types of session:
DISCOVER SESSIONS
DEVELOP SESSIONS
ACTION SESSIONS
offer you the chance to hear the HR leaders in life sciences sharing the stories of what they’re doing to maximise the impact of their team and function on the business
provide you with the unique opportunity to have your burning questions answered and move beyond the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ to get to the ‘how’
divide the audience by company size and are designed to help you explore challenges with peers, and decide what you are going to change in order to add greater value to the business
