The Redefining Early Stage Investments (RESI) Conference is poised to launch on Monday. Getting this 400 person event together was no small feat: The RESI team relied heavily on a strict strategy on delivering quality content that was current, relevant, and compelling. The main tactic was to focus on early stage investment and really understand how that impacts emerging life science startups. When LSN embarked on the RESI Conference, there was a single mantra that drove the entire event organization process: Content is king. So many conferences recycle dry outdated content, and it’s the same old speakers with the same old content. This is precisely what LSN sought to change.
A brief glance at the RESI agenda shows that we succeeded: There are 16 panels covering topics such as family offices investing directly, non-profits adopting for-profit models, CROs investing into startups, the latest big pharma in-licensing activities, and other emerging trends in early stage life science investing. On top of that, there are workshops covering how to conduct a fundraising campaign, the legal landscape, and valuation.
So how exactly was LSN able to compile all of this content? Quite simply, it comes down to the fact that LSN’s primary business is working together with early stage companies raising capital, and profiling the investor landscape. LSN tracks over 5,000 active biotech and medtech investors around the world, and the LSN research team maintains an ongoing dialogue with them on a 90-day rolling basis. This gives LSN unequaled insight into the latest investor trends, but also fosters a relationship that allows for a higher ratio of active investors than any other major life science conference in the world.
The insights that LSN research compiles allow the RESI conference content to stay abreast of the industry. The RESI event’s content is designed to give perspectives on what’s happening now, who’s active, what’s hot, and what the future looks like on a tactical level. Moreover, because of LSN’s relationship with the senior staff at each of these investor entities, the content is delivered by the very people who are redefining early stage investments in the life science arena.
If you’re already a part of the RESI tribe, we look forward to seeing you all on March 24th in Boston. If you’re not part of the tribe yet, it’s not too late, but time is running short. Come see what everyone’s talking about!
