JP Morgan Healthcare Conference SFO Jan 12 – 15

Each year at the JPMorgan Healthcare Conference, I build additional perspective on the Life Sciences and Biotech industries that we have participated in for 21 years. The range of people I meet, the types of companies they serve or represent, and the breadth of nationalities present make this the most diverse gathering we attend.

In just three days, I cross paths with people from 7 different countries, and leaders and representatives from more than 40 companies engage in dialogue, both formal and informal. These conversations share perspectives that spark curiosity and keep the fire lit.

On my way out of the final reception, I find myself in conversation with a woman from Moscow—a PhD/MD and Managing Director of a global investment fund. She asks me, “What is the key for you to get the most from these events?”

I answer without hesitation: listen.
