Industry meets Women in Pharma Sponsored by Sartorius
Visibility with Purpose – Inspire. Influence. Impact.
How do we make our expertise visible without feeling like we are simply promoting ourselves?
This year’s Industry Meets Women in Pharma event combines technical industry insights with personal and professional development.
The day will begin with an exclusive site visit at Sartorius, offering participants the opportunity to explore technical topics, innovations, and current developments in the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry.
In the afternoon, the focus will shift to Visibility with Purpose. Through an interactive workshop, participants will gain practical tools and strategies to build their professional presence, strengthen their visibility, and create meaningful impact within their organizations and across the industry.
The workshop will be complemented by inspiring speakers and role models who will share their personal experiences, lessons learned, and practical advice on building visibility, creating opportunities, and turning expertise into influence.
As always, the event is open to all genders. We believe that meaningful progress happens through diverse perspectives, open dialogue, and collaboration across the life sciences community.
