2nd Annual Life Science Chief Executive Officer Forum

Sustaining Organizational Growth through Strategies from Licensing, Mergers & Acquisitions to Market Access and Integration in Emerging Markets, all while Maintaining Rigorous Compliance and Increasing Shareholder Value

February 2-4, 2012 | Jacksonville, FL

ABOUT THE FORUM

As the dynamic within the life science industry continues to change, chief executives need to be prepared with an arsenal of tools and strategies that will enable them to succeed in this evolving marketplace. From strategic licensing opportunities to mergers and acquisitions that will bolster research and product pipelines, to the investigation of emerging markets where new and existing products have yet to make in-roads, there are many decisions that need to be made from the executive office in order to keep companies viable and to sustain growth. With the challenges faced by the industry ever compounding, it is essential that forward thinking CEOs come together to discuss and debate the opportunities that are available. The 2nd Annual Life Science Chief Executive Officer Forum will bring together Presidents and CEOs of leading Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Medical Device and Diagnostic companies that represent a wide spectrum of company sizes, from small-cap through to mid-cap organizations, to share synergies across the entire industry.
