Wednesday 4 November 2020

We are very excited to bring the Women in Biotech series to Manchester for the first time in November 2020, though of course with the current situation this event will now take place in virtual format. 

Two inspiring women in our sector based in the Manchester area will join us for a discussion around keeping strategic focus and clear leadership through challenging times.

We're looking forward to welcoming new attendees and catching up with the fantastic Women in Biotech community.

Using an interactive virtual platform, everyone will be able to move from virtual table to table similar to at an in-person event. Bring your favourite drink and join us for this fantastic early evening event with engaging online networking.

Virtual format & tech requirements

We are excited to bring you this Women in Biotech event in virtual format.

You will be able to join us online to network and, similar to an in-person event, move from virtual table to table to mingle with other attendees. The platform we will be using also includes useful features which will allow you to message directly with other attendees and share LinkedIn details to connect. There is also a general chat for all attendees.

During the panel discussion you will be able to submit and vote on audience questions and we will try our best to cover everything in the time allocated.

What are the technical requirements to attend the virtual event?

  • There is no software installation or download required.
