What to Expect at LEAP HR: Life Sciences East
This conference wasn't just unique in offering an industry-specific platform for the most progressive HR leaders to maximize their own business value; it was also unique in that it rips up the rulebook of traditional conferences.
We believe the traditional conference format is no longer fit for purpose, so we started from scratch.
How it Works
When you look at the agenda, you will see three main types of session:
Discover Sessions
Offer you the chance to hear the HR leaders in life sciences sharing the stories of what they're doing to maximize the impact of their team and function on the business
Develop Sessions
Provide you with the unique opportunity to have your burning questions answered and move beyond the 'what' and the 'why' to get to the 'how'
Action Sessions
Divide the audience by company size and are designed to help you explore challenges with peers, and decide what you are going to change in order to add greater value to the business
