ABOUT THE BIOTECH CEO SUMMITS – UNLIKE ANY OTHER CONFERENCE
The Biotech CEO Summits are unlike most other meetings CEOs attend. The Summits focus on the participating CEOs discussing issues of importance to them as leaders of companies they want to position for growth and success. The Summits are discussion based meetings led by subject matter experts. All participants are invited to, and indeed encouraged to join the discussions by asking questions and sharing their personal insights. The Summits are run under Chatham House Rules to encourage open and frank conversation. The media are not invited, and the sessions are not recorded, to provide an extra layer of privacy.
