An Ounce of Prevention – Risk Management Strategies for Life Sciences and Healthcare Technology Companies

Are you prepared for investor due diligence, patent infringement, data breach, product liability, or a cyber attack on your infrastructure?

Continental Breakfast, Lunch, and Free Parking are included.

As a leader of a growing life sciences or healthcare technology company, you must understand and manage both insurable and non-insurable risks as you build your company. Our program is designed to explore the risks founders, directors and management teams address during business startup, growth and exit. Board of Director risk, contractual risk, financial risk, cap table structure, data privacy, product liability, and patent infringement are just a few of the topics we will address in our conference. Risk mitigation and liability management has never been more complex as it is today. Our panels include industry advisors and regional industry leaders with real world experiences to offer. The conference will address the hidden and obvious risks you should be prepared to address as a business leader.
