A Platform for Change

The conference will kick off with the EWIB Breakfast on June 16, 2025, from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM EDT. This breakfast will feature an engaging Fireside Chat with leading figures in the battle for gender equity in science.

This conversation will not only shed light on their historical fight but also emphasize the significance of continuing this advocacy today.

Flipping the Script on Women's Health

On June 17, 2025, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM EDT, WIB will hold a Plenary Event titled Flipping the Script – Powerful Narratives in Women's Health Innovation. As the investment landscape grows increasingly competitive, effectively communicating compelling stories is vital. This panel will include industry leaders like Seema Kumar (CEO of Cure), Kristen Dahlgren (Founder of Cancer Vaccine Coalition), and Claire Love (Partner at PwC). They will share insights on how to craft narratives that resonate with diverse stakeholders, illuminating the path to breakthroughs in funding and innovation in women's health.

Rapid Connections at Speed Networking

Midway through the conference, on June 18, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM EDT, attendees can participate in a high-energy Speed Networking session. This event, hosted on the Exhibition Floor at Booth #3584, is designed for quick conversations that spark connections among women and allies in life sciences.
