Returning for its 8th year, LEAP HR: Life Sciences West is the definitive community for West Coast biotech people leaders. It reunites over 100 senior HR leaders from scaling and stabilizing biotech organizations to uncover how to navigate volatility, unlock peer-led insights, and deliver tangible business impact. Across three jam-packed days of high-impact content, attendees will gain actionable takeaways through case studies, benchmarking sessions, structured networking, roundtable discussions, and speed learning sessions. Topics range from employment engagement in uncertain markets to AI-driven HR innovation, creative compensation design, and more. This forum is dedicated to tackling the unique people challenges and HR, L&D, and TA opportunities faced by West Coast life sciences organizations, whether scaling rapidly, reducing force, or already stable.
