Announcing Q4 Meetups: San Francisco, Boston, and NYC

Hi! We’re closing out 2025 with our final round of T2Bmeets, bringing our community together in Boston, San Francisco, and NYC, with San Diego details coming soon. And we’re proud to reveal this quarter’s fantastic hosts: Third Rock Ventures in the Fenway in Boston, Astellas’ Bay Area HQ, and a special reception at the Cure X Factor Summit in NYC. T2Bmeet @ Boston | Wednesday, November 12th | 4:30–7 p.m. ET Third Rock Ventures, Fenway Don’t miss this chance to mix and mingle with our...

Hi! As journalists prepare for HLTH—where they'll face hundreds, if not thousands of pitches, according to Healthcare IT Today's John Lynn—we asked three seasoned reporters how they decide what actually breaks through the noise. Our panel with Arundhati Parmar (MedCity News), John, and Lydia Ramsey Pflanzer (Endpoints) focused on the conference ahead, but their insights apply whether you're pitching reporters at a major event or from your desk on a random Tuesday. Our top 10 takeaways: 1....

Hi! Many people are surprised to learn I'm an introvert at heart. While I genuinely love connecting with all of you, I need that quiet time to recharge. Michelle and I complement each other perfectly in that way; her extrovert energy balances my nature, and it's taught me so much about the value of different approaches to leadership and presence. T2B's final masterclass of the year feels like the perfect way to close out 2024: a session that invites us to appreciate ourselves and each other...

Hi! While some of us formally oversee IR (e.g. it's part of our titles), many of us find ourselves liaising with IR colleagues or doing IR-adjacent work in our day-to-day. During our IR Roundtable's very first event since forming earlier this year, we’ll hear from senior IR leaders from companies of various sizes — from clinical-stage biotechs to global market leaders — and how communications and IR evolve together as companies grow. One Size Doesn’t Fit All: IR Across Market Caps 🗓️ Tuesday,...

Hi and Happy Friday! In this profession we're great at promoting others and hyping their expertise. But most of us have cobbled together our careers from different places. Maybe you started in journalism, or in academia, or patient advocacy. You've pivoted between therapeutic areas, picked up new science along the way, figured out the ins and outs of what it means to do comms in our industry on the fly. And somehow we're supposed to be both strategic comms experts and fluent enough in the...

Hi! Our Q3 Culture Connect panel, Finishing Strong, Starting Smart: Internal Communications Strategies for 2025–2026, highlighted the importance of honest, transparent communication in times of flux, helping to sustain trust, motivation, and a sense of belonging. And perhaps just as importantly, the conversation was a reminder that we’re stronger together: when we share what’s working, name what’s hard, and support each other in protecting both team and personal capacity. Weren’t able to...

Hi! Feedback shapes nearly every conversation we have as communicators, whether we're counseling leadership, translating input across functions, or developing our teams. Our September Comm Convo explored how to give and receive it while strengthening (vs. inadvertently straining) relationships. Replay available here for T2B Pro and Student members. Here are our top 10 takeaways for building healthier, more effective feedforward dynamics, focusing on future potential rather than the past: 1....

Hi! Our Media Minds Roundtable press panels are designed to help foster stronger and more efficient working relationships with journalists. When we ask reporters to join these panels, our pitch is essentially to invest an hour telling our community how to work with them, what stories they're following, and what drives them crazy (what not to do!)... and in return, the hope is they'll receive more targeted and timely outreach from all of us. During tomorrow's program, we'll take a closer look...

Hi! When we launched our discipline-specific roundtables, the goal was simple: create space for deeper conversations within the specialized areas that make up our broader communications world. IR is one of those areas where the challenges are distinct, and where learning from peers at different stages can be genuinely helpful. The first program that our stellar IR Roundtable is hosting will get into the reality that IR doesn't look the same across market caps, and neither does the...
