The invitation-only Vanguard Forums bring together Life Sciences CEOs in a uniquely enriching dialogue with each other and a faculty of peers, board members, and other experts. Together, the participants share what works–and what does not–along with perspectives on leadership opportunities and challenges across their sectors.​
​
The forums develop critical top leadership insights, skills, and capabilities through pragmatic learnings not found via conventional conferences or business school offerings. The forum leadership experience is just one aspect of a Vanguard Network membership. Monthly events for members allow CEOs to share experiences and network with peers in a private, by-invitation only space.
