Hi! Our in-person programming is about to go up a gear (or two), with our first-ever in-person Biopharma Comms Forum! Taking place in Cambridge on Tuesday, June 17th, the event’s theme is “The Next Chapter.” We’ll address the evolving environment, skills, and leadership needed for success as modern-day biopharma communicators both today and in the future. And with all of the turmoil further fracturing the healthcare and life science ecosystems, our role as communicators just got even more...

Last week, we were joined by Biotech Sisterhood CEO Co-Founder Sheila Gujrathi, M.D., The Black Sherpa Founder Nyambe “Yam” Sumbwanyambe, and Ovid Therapeutics SVP, Strategy & Corporate Affairs Victoria Fort, who helped us tackle the March Comm Convo topic of confidence.

Hi! Our roundtables are driven directly by members who bring deep knowledge and passion to key areas of biopharma communications. The next roundtable we're launching (today!) focuses on investor relations. IR is a complex discipline in and of itself, though we often find that this is one of many hats we wear as modern-day biopharma communicators. Which is why we’re looking for five comms/IR pros to help distill the complexity of this topic for the rest of the T2B community! Everything you...

What is a modern-day communicator? A strategic...

So if you’re searching for your next opportunity (or you have a role you need the perfect candidate for), our Slack #talent channel is the best place to start. Remember that Slack access is free...

Hi! We as communicators are almost always behind the scenes and prioritize our leadership teams or clients before ourselves. Especially amid the current tumult all around us, I’m here to remind you that self-care is paramount. While T2B isn’t offering massages and mani-pedis (yet… hmm…🤔), we are prioritizing programs where you can focus on your own growth and connections. Today, we’re launching our brand-new Leadership Lab Masterclasses, which bring executive-level coaching and learning...
