Created by Women, for Women in Life Sciences

Born from Experience. Built for Impact.

The Life Science Women’s Conference was created by a woman who saw firsthand how few spaces existed to support and spotlight women in life science fields. After hosting a focus group of researchers, founders, and professionals, she partnered with Steve Fiske — an experienced conference producer and advocate for women in business.

What started as a bold idea has grown into a nationally recognized, high-impact event where women from across the industry can grow, connect, and lead together.

The Story Behind The Life Science Women's Conference

The Life Science Women's Conference was envisioned and created by a woman who ran a successful biotech consulting business. She invited a dozen or so women to participate in a focus group who would be representative of her theoretical attendees,  exhibitors, speakers, or sponsors.

The concept resonated strongly and she partnered with Steve Fiske, no stranger to uplifting women in business. Having taught dozens of women how to be publishers of women's newspapers and experienced in producing women's expos, conferences, and symposiums, the partnership was born.
