Attend and develop strategies for rising up the leadership ranks at your organization, charting your path for continued success, overcoming the challenges of a hybrid workplace, and building and capitalizing on your personal brand to expand your industry presence. With the life sciences industry currently experiencing unprecedented growth, innovation, and visibility, it is more important than ever that women in leadership work together to increase their prominence and recognition within the field. The ACI “WILS” conference has earned its standing as the one and only forum where female leaders in the life sciences legal industry can convene, connect, and call on one another to act regarding their careers, aspirations and personal growth.
