LSN is busily preparing for our largest conference of the year, RESI San Francisco, during JPM week on Tuesday, January 14th, 2020. In our last RESI SF conference, we had over 1,200 attendees join, making it our largest conference to date.
This time, we are featuring 3 tracks of panels and workshops that encompass a wide variety of sectors within life science and healthcare, including more specialized topics relevant to current industry trends. For the very first time, we are also dedicating an entire track for Featured Company Pitch Sessions, which will be a valuable opportunity for companies to showcase their technologies.
The ultimate goal of our panels and workshops is to provide valuable insights to fundraising early-stage companies, especially on how groups can effectively seek to work with investors and strategic partners. RESI strives to feature industry players from large VCs to new funds, from large corporations to angel investors, to lend their expertise to the entrepreneurs attending RESI. With excellent returning speakers and many new contributors, the panel lineup at this RESI is sure to be one of the best we’ve had.
For those who are already registered for RESI, we highly encourage you to attend some panels that are relevant to your company’s interests. If you’re interested in hearing from and meeting active industry experts, but haven’t registered, it’s not too late!
