Revolutionize Your Approach to Life Sciences Training & Development

Transform Your L&D Strategy to Develop & Retain a Highly Skilled, Agile Scientific Workforce While Building a Resilient Leadership Pipeline to Accelerate Innovative Research & Development

In 2025, talent development isn’t just a support function, it’s a strategic imperative. As life sciences organizations navigate technological transformation, workforce disruption, and the rise of advanced therapies, the ability to upskill, retain, and mobilize high-performing talent is now mission-critical.

LEAP TD: Life Sciences is the only event designed exclusively for senior talent development (TD) leaders in biotech and pharma to rethink how learning, leadership,and workforce planning can drive real business impact.

This is not another L&D expo. It’s a strategic, high-level forum where talent development, training, and L&D leaders working in life sciences come together to:

The Leap HR Life Sciences Conference is always highly beneficial to attend. Every time I attend, I gain new insight, expand my professional network, and feel energized. I am thrilled to be part of the TD event in Boston this year and look forward to exchanging ideas and best practices with new colleagues.
