If the pandemic taught us anything, it is that there is more than one way to skin a cat. Making connections and doing business while being hundreds or thousands of miles apart from our counterparts seemed like a ridiculous proposition only a few years ago, but alas! Nobody thinks that way today.

In fact, the RESI conference successfully created a digital platform for exactly that: making connections and doing business. Early-stage companies, investors, strategics and service providers discovered how to make the best of the situation and be very productive. The usefulness of remote, virtual meetings is evident today and will likely be around for the foreseeable future. But we saw last month at RESI Boston that there is a real desire to return to face-to-face gatherings.

While virtual meetings will continue to be useful, the return to in-person partnering conferences like RESI Boston and the upcoming RESI San Francisco, January10-12 have important advantages:

• Ad-hoc meetings throughout the day
• Networking receptions
• The undeniable power of a handshake (or elbow bump!)

To that end, any company in the early-stage life sciences arena must have JPM week in January in San Francisco on their radar. It’s the week that thousands of relevant investors, strategic partners and new technology startups converge on the City by the Bay to look for opportunities to connect and do business. Apart from scheduling planned meetings throughout the week, every evening is full of networking events to make more connections. It can be the most productive week of the year for many companies!

RESI San Francisco,, January 10-12, 2023 is a key part of JPM week. For early-stage players, it is, without a doubt, the best venue to identify and meet 500+ global investors and strategic partners. The RESI Partnering Platform allows you to schedule multiple meetings with the right counterparts on January 10. For the following two days, you can schedule both virtual and in-person meetings anywhere in the city using the RESI Partnering Platform.

As a lead-up to JPM week, LSN is offering a Digital RESI, November 15-16 partnering event. You can meet virtually with 200+ investors and strategics to get the most out of the final quarter of 2022 and be ready for new and follow-up meetings in January. We are offering a super discount bundle package for RESI November & RESI JPM San Francisco.
