Sachs Associates would like to say that we have enjoyed hosting you in-person and virtually and thank those who participated in our 18th Annual European Life Sciences CEO Forum (Sachs_ELSF). A special thank you goes to the excellent line-up of sponsors, chairs, panellists, and presenters who made such a broad and interesting programme possible.
The ELSF has proven to be successful in supporting our community with over 430 people from 27 countries registered and nearly 2000 in-person & online meetings completed.
Publicly available recordings of the sessions and presentations from the event will be uploaded to the SachsTV YouTube channel in April.
We are looking forward to welcoming you again to our future events!
