Biotech CEO Summit

Held annually in Napa and Europe, the Biotech CEO Summits provide high-value, relationship-building opportunities through informal discussions where personal knowledge, insights, and ideas are exchanged with peers. These candid discussions take place in a secure, confidential setting.

Who Participates

Biotech CEO Summits are limited to CEOs focused on leading their organizations through the ever-evolving biotech landscape, transforming individual companies and the industry as a whole. Non-CEO participants include a select group of industry leaders.

About the Program

The program includes fireside chats, case studies and group discussions that address a range of global issues key to biotech CEOs and their companies. The Summit format facilitates engagement, discussion and interaction with and between all CEOs. The topics are identified in consultation with the advisory board, and include discussions on strategy (asset selection, collaborations, market approach), financing (public and private), communications to all audiences (shareholders, investors, board of directors, patients, regulatory bodies, and team), human resources (board and team development and management), and lessons learned during make or break situations.

Participant Benefits

An important benefit of participating in the Summit is the development of trusted relationships between CEOs and the select group of other industry thought leaders. The program is designed to ensure all CEOs spend quality time together. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the candid discussions, to share their experiences and to ask questions. All CEOs are invited to suggest topics for discussion. Throughout the Summit, networking sessions, dinners and activities provide opportunities for CEOs to meet one-on-one and build relationships.
