Hi!

A quick reminder that our 2nd Annual Virtual Biopharma Comms Forum starts tomorrow, October 6th.

Over the next two half-days, we’ll gather virtually to explore what the expansion of the comms remit means for the profession, and how we as communicators can Own the Outcome (this year's forum theme).

Our agenda approaches this from multiple angles: From how the C-suite experiences comms counsel, to the changing boundaries of corporate affairs and measuring what matters to the business.
