An Exclusive Community of Biopharma Executives

Thought leadership at the boardroom table

Since its inception in 2011, Linking Leaders roundtables have become a priority spot on our members’ calendars. Our meetings are considered as having the best representation of senior-level decision makers and influencers coming together on a regular basis. The dynamic and collaborative environment allows for candid discussions not found at traditional events.

Linking Leaders members agree that it is not only in the interest of the executives around the table, but also in the best interests of patients to share learnings across the industry. There are only gains to be made from this forum where leaders gather throughout the year to engage, exchange and, ideally, effect change.
