Focused on expanding opportunities and elevating voices in life sciences, the 2020 conference featured impactful sessions, expert panels, and strategic networking. The event continued to drive momentum for women across the sector.
The Life Science Women's Conference, co-founded by Patti Rossman and Steve Fiske, is an unparalleled opportunity for women to accelerate their careers in the life science field through mentoring, networking, and education. As president of the life sciences consulting firm, Globiox, headquartered in Austin, Texas, Patti knows the importance of women taking leadership roles in life sciences, thus creating the concept behind The Life Science Women's Conference.
Mentorship, networking, and education are fundamentals to climbing any career ladder and the tools acquired at this event are specifically structured for women seeking advancement. The speakers program is designed to greatly contribute to educational and professional development. Our lineup of presenters will include some of the best and brightest in their distinct field of expertise. These powerful women will be focusing on women's enlightenment, career development, leadership role, networking, mentorship, and empowerment.
Thanks to your dedication, enthusiasm, and engagement, we held an invigorating conference home to the inspiring collaboration it's known for. We hope you left with valuable connections and are looking forward to witness the impact of your incredible, new ventures.

"My main takeaway from the show is that science is amazing, and I'm so glad to see women running more of it! Every presentation in the main ballroom was inspiring and interesting. It was really great to hear about work going on in fields across the spectrum. I also enjoyed hearing how each woman got to where she is. The certificate seminar was really useful. I am now energized to find science/business certificates that could help my career instead of weighing whether to go for my Ph.D. or not."
