2nd BD&L Summit for Life Sciences
Hyatt Centric Fisherman's Warf
San Francisco, CA
WHAT TO EXPECT
In order to effectively evaluate any new business development opportunities and ensure that the true value of a transaction has been realized, while forecasting the probability of both development and commercial success, life science companies need to ensure the right internal experts are involved in the evaluation process. This calls for the development and continuous improvement of a formal process that will allow organizations to efficiently and effectively evaluate, negotiate, manage, and close a transaction.
The 2nd BD&L Summit serves as an open forum for cross-functional business development teams to share valuable insights and actionable strategies on successfully managing alliances, licensing agreements and M&A deals.
Designed as a platform for M&A, licensing, and transaction executives to share best practices from the biotech and big pharma perspective, this conference goes one step further by providing two tracks dedicated to the following areas:
- Legal/Transactions
- Business Development
