Demystifying Biopharma Business Development: Understanding the Process and Thriving as a BD Professional
This full-day workshop will be taught by accomplished business development (BD) professionals with deep experience in both large pharmas and small biotechs, providing perspectives from both sides of the table for biopartnering. If you have ever wondered what BD is, how to work efficiently and effectively with your BD team to advance your company’s strategy and programs, or even how to become a BD professional yourself, this is a good workshop for you (and your colleagues in R&D, regulatory, legal, finance, and even executive positions) to attend. The workshop will include presentations, case studies, and group exercises, and conclude with a panel discussion.

Biotech's New Playbook: Spinouts and Optionality
Biotechnology companies are increasingly using single-asset spinouts as a way to create value, though the approach can be complex. This afternoon forum will examine considerations to strategically design and execute a successful spinout. Attendees will gain insight into the legal foundations of these transactions, including tax considerations, patent strategy, IP allocation, and structural design. The program will also explore the broader business drivers behind spinout decisions—such as capital formation, strategic focus, partnership alignment, governance, and long-term value creation.
