LEAP HR: Life Sciences is the best HR conference there is, and the best way to connect with senior leaders in the same field.
Nicole Schaeffer, Chief People Strategy Officer, Insmed
LEAP HR has a strong reputation for bringing together senior leaders who are actively building and testing new approaches, not just talking about them. It's consistently recommended by peers as a highly valuable forum for sharing practical, real-world solutions, especially in complex environments like biotech.
Vanya Sagar, Chief People Officer, Sionna Therapeutics
The value of LEAP HR East isn't just the content, it's the caliber of peers. You leave with a ready-made network of leaders facing the same talent challenges and real solutions you can put into practice.
Grace Niwa, Vice President, Talent Intelligence & Early Career, Vertex Pharmaceuticals
A dynamic, thought-provoking conference. I had heard LEAP HR: Life Sciences was a valuable conference to attend, and I wasn't disappointed. 10 out of 10.
Sally Paull, Senior Vice President Human Resources, Regeneron
An inspiring event with leaders teaching and sharing with fellow leaders. This has helped me build a peer network which will allow me to learn how others are handling the challenges we share.
Anne-Marie Sotire, Senior Vice President Human Resources Business Strategy, Bristol Myers Squibb

Lisa Welker Finney, Vice President Human Resources, Boston Scientific
What makes LEAP HR: Life Sciences valuable is the ability to connect with leaders who are navigating the same challenges and openly sharing solutions. It's a highly practical forum, focused on ideas you can take back and implement to drive meaningful business impact.
Courtney McBean, Senior Vice President Development Operations, Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical
LEAP HR conference is one we prioritize each year because it consistently offers a wide variety of topics that are relevant to the ever-evolving HR and business landscape. It's a valuable forum for exchanging ideas, learning from peers at the highest levels, and engaging in intentional networking.
Candace Todt, Senior Talent Acquisition Leader, Bayer
I value conferences like this as a chance to step outside the day-to-day and engage with peers tackling similar global hiring challenges. These conversations spark fresh thinking, provide practical insights, and help shape more agile, forward-looking strategies for attracting and retaining talent worldwide.
Suzanne Volkert, Head of Global Talent Acquisition, Daiichi Sankyo
The LEAP HR events have given me great opportunities to learn from people at similar organizations at different points in their respective talent journeys. I always leave these sessions with several anecdotes that challenge my assumptions or lead to 'why didn't I think of that' moments.
Noah Hendy, Head of People Analytics and Strategy, Biogen
I value conferences like this because they create space for practitioners to move beyond theory and share what actually works. Measurement science is powerful, but its impact comes from practical application and learning across organizations.
Jimmy Zhang, Global Head of Talent Acquisition, People Analytics & Workforce Planning, Takeda Pharmaceutical
I have always loved the LEAP format. I don't think I've been to a LEAP conference that I didn't get back and change something — multiple things — because there are these practical nuggets. I love the practicality of it.
Nick Zweig, Director HR Talent Acquisition, Collegium Pharmaceutical
The difference between this and other events is that this allows us to exchange ideas with those with whom we share so many common challenges. This looks like it will be of great value.
Angela Lane, Vice President Talent & Development, AbbVie
I really like LEAP HR a lot. I find the conferences very inspiring. It's a great time to connect with people. Why waste time inventing the wheel if you can condense what you need to do and learn from other people?
Amanda Lopez, Vice President, Talent Management, Ardelyx
As Head of R&D Talent at Novartis, participating in the LEAP Conference in Boston enables me to learn from peer leaders, collectively shape the future of our industry, and share how we build future-ready scientific leadership together across the R&D ecosystem.
Louise Daniel, Head of Talent Management, R&D, Novartis
