The Life Sciences CEO Exchange results from feedback from participants in recent Vanguard Life Sciences CEO Forums. 

The request was for a regular cadence of shorter format, intimate, peer-to-peer conversations.

​

The exchanges pick up on discussions catalyzed at Vanguard forums, with further topics also generated by participants, ensuring that the discussions cover what is top of mind for CEOs. Those who have attended forums and exchanges will recall dynamic dives into areas ranging from capital markets challenges, the role of AI, succession planning, self-awareness, getting the pipeline in front of big Pharma, and much more.
