The positions
Positions are shared in the prospectus, on request. They are not published.
Curated for
A position is worth what the room is worth. These are the functions the sessions are written for, and the organisations the invitation goes to.
The functions the agenda is written for
Head of Drug Discovery
Owns the decision the forum is named for. Every session sits between a target and a compound worth carrying.
Head of AI Strategy & Autonomous Operations
Where AI changes the compound, not the slide. The intelligence layer runs through every forum, and here it meets the discovery decision itself.
Head of Target Identification & Validation
The earliest decision and the most expensive one to get wrong. Everything downstream inherits it.
Head of Lead Optimisation
Where a molecule becomes a candidate or becomes a sunk cost. A named session, because the call is rarely clean.
Head of CMC
Carries the compound from bench to something that can be made.
Head of Translational Medicine
The gap between a model that works and a patient who responds. The room exists because it is still a gap.
VP Clinical Operations
Published as a discipline. Turns a development plan into sites, patients and dates.
Head of Regulatory Strategy
Published as a discipline. Reads the path before the programme commits to it.
Head of Commercial Development
Published as a discipline. Decides what a compound is worth before the science is finished telling you.
Head of Enabling Technology
Published as a discipline, and the one the other nine increasingly depend on.
The organisations the invitation goes to
Thirty-six organisations. Up to 150 senior leaders. The Savoy, London.
