A few photos of our #CreativeDisruption Forum to catch the essense of what Tony Sedgwick and I are producing for #leaders and #futureleaders in #lifesciences #innovation. Yesterday we focused on The Big Picture - #drugdiscovery, #drugdevelopment and #approvals.
To set the tone for the day we start in the morning with #keynote interviews expertly crafted by Tony with interviewees Rory Maw, Mariana Vaschetto, Dr Mridul Majumder, Tom Blackburn, Richard Reschen, Jonathan Savidge, Catherine Stace and Alisdair Falconer. The aim is is start “dialogue” with participants on “juicy” topics. Then in the afternoon we have “think-tank” workshops with assigned Group Leaders who present back later in the day on the discussions they were having. With most of the participants in room being thought-leaders you essentially get the cutting-edge insights into where we are as a sector, the pain-points, the challenges and the solutions, all conducted under Chatham House Rules.
What makes a great event are the participants and we had approximately 30 CXOs of innovation companies and 9 investors, our sponsors and a few other service providers, a total of 60 participants. Thank you to our 4 sponsors who made this possible who are DLRC Regulatory Consultancy, The Oxford Science Park (TOSP), Collaborative Drug Discovery - CDD Vault and M2M Pharmaceuticals Ltd. From September we are planning 1 of these a month in the UK mainly in #Oxford (8 Oct is next- mark calendar), in #London and in #Cambridge - and hoping for 1 in #Manchester on the 26 Nov and one in #Singapore in Jan 2025 😉🥂
