The Definitive ROI-Driven Meeting for Life Sciences People Leaders

Reimagine the End-to-End Talent Lifecycle by Aligning Strategy, Staffing, Capability & Culture to Accelerate Innovation & Scale Organizational Impact Without Scaling Cost & Deliver ROI in a Resource-Constrained Life Sciences Reality

AI disruption, economic volatility, shifting employee expectations, and the real cost of hard-to-hire biopharma talent - these are just some of the issues facing the life sciences industry today.

Returning for its landmark 10th year, LEAP HR: Life Sciences East is the definitive end-to-end meeting for the entire biopharma people universe. This year we’ve broken down silos and for the first time, LEAP TA and LEAP TD: Life Sciences have been incorporated into a special expanded edition of LEAP HR: Life Sciences, bringing together senior Human Resources, Talent Acquisition, and Learning & Development leaders under one roof. With dedicated tracks and specialized content for each function, this is the only forum that HR, TA, and L&D leaders in life sciences need to succeed through 2026 and beyond.

Across three concentrated days, you'll access pragmatic case studies, frank benchmarking, and curated peer discussions structured so every member of your people team can go deep in their specialism, then reconvene with a unified and integrated plan. Compare what's working, pressure-test decisions, and leave with a roadmap clear enough to take straight to the C-suite.

Join 200+ people pioneers and talent trailblazers this October in Boston to unlock the strategy you need. This isn’t any traditional conference or expo you may have previously attended.

LEAP HR: Life Sciences is the best HR conference there is, and the best way to connect with senior leaders in the same field.
