After two years and much anticipation, ACI’s Flagship Summit for Women Leaders in Life Sciences Law will be returning LIVE and IN-PERSON to Boston.

T

his summer’s reunion event will provide the renewed opportunities for in-person networking and collaboration that you’ve been waiting for, with the chance to meet, engage with and learn from nearly 200 female attorneys and executives from the biotech, pharmaceutical, and medical device industries.

Join an exceptional group of female leaders for valuable discussions about how the latest legal, administrative, and policy developments are impacting the life sciences industry and the roles of women in it. 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. We hope you will join this outstanding community of today’s as well as tomorrow’s female life sciences leaders for what will be one of the most valuable gatherings of the year.
