1. Comprehensive Planning Tool: For anyone attending JPM Week — whether founders, investors, BD execs, or scientists — having a central, curated list of relevant life science events is invaluable. Rather than navigating a sea of scattered invitations, the RESI page brings together a clean, structured schedule. 

1. Partnership Optimization: Many of the events listed are tailored for dealmaking — breakfasts, partnering forums, and pitch showcases. This makes it easier for startups to schedule and maximize high-impact interactions. 

1. Community Spotlight: The page isn’t only about formal conferences; it also highlights social events, networking mixers, and sector-specific receptions (e.g., women in healthcare, neuroscience, medtech). This helps attendees connect on both professional and personal levels. 

The RESI “JPM Week Events” page is more than just a listing: it’s a strategic roadmap for navigating one of the busiest and most important weeks in healthcare investing.
