Why we’re hosting the T2B Biopharma Comms Forum


Hi!

If you’re anything like me, you love a conference.

But how many times have you been to one you were really looking forward to, only to sit in a stuffy auditorium for hours on end being talked at?

So, when we decided to plan the T2B Biopharma Comms Forum, we aimed to create the complete opposite.

Taking place at Takeda’s 125 Binney St. location in Cambridge, MA on Tuesday, June 17th, the Forum’s theme is “The Next Chapter.” And we want this to be a two-way, interactive event: It’s not just a day full of presentations, where you sit in “receive” mode for several hours. We’ve banned thinly-disguised sales pitches and have curated the agenda and topics to be relevant for you so you’ll benefit from:

  • Honest, candid panels and keynotes from senior thought-leaders.
  • Small-group discussions with peers who understand your specific challenges.
  • Direct access to speakers for the questions you can’t ask in recorded sessions.
  • Engaging with biopharma communicators from all walks of life: in-house teams, agency strategists, and boutique consultants.
  • A strict no-BS approach: you’ll get actionable strategies from people who’ve been where you are, without the fluff, jargon, or sanitized corporate talking points that are common at other events.

And to cap it all off, we’ll all gather for our BIO / Q2 Boston area social meetup in the evening!

Registration is open for T2B Pro and Student members

One of the most important aspects of our planning process has been making sure the Forum is financially accessible for T2B members.

Thanks to our generous Host Sponsor, Takeda; Marquee Sponsor, Waterhouse; and Forum Supporter, Fullintel, we’ve been able to ensure that tickets for this inaugural event are free for T2B Pro and Student members. Tickets are available now on a first-come, first-served basis.

Sign up here

Any remaining tickets will be available to T2B Basic members on May 1, 2025 for $475.

We’ve designed this forum to be everything traditional conferences aren’t: interactive, authentic, and genuinely valuable.

So, don’t miss your chance to be part of this experience built specifically for biopharma communicators like you.

You can find loads more information about the Forum – including the top-line schedule – over on the event website.

Hi! Last week, the T2B community tackled the topic of trust. In an intriguing and very candid Comm Convo led by speakers Kris Baum (former FDA, CDER), Mary Kosinski (FleishmanHillard), and Sarah Spencer (Vor Bio), we explored how the relationships we build shape our ability to lead, influence, and respond. With so many specific anecdotes and practical tips shared, it was hard to narrow down to just 10 key takeaways, but we managed it (barely!): Leverage science as your trust anchor. When...
