The annual gathering of the most innovative life sciences companies, researchers, and accomplished investors and corporations that want to do business with them.
In 48 hours at AdvanSE, investors and partners can see the very best of what the southeast life sciences innovation ecosystem has to offer. It is highly efficient “shopping.” As a region, we bring a critical mass of innovators, investors, corporate partners, and the companies that help fill the gaps.
Women@SLS was founded in 2016 with the mission to support women in the life sciences industry through networking and education. Through our first four years, we launched our flagship events – Life Science Women AdvanSE – in Atlanta and Memphis. We continue to host these events and webinars throughout the year, while look for our next “big thing.”
In 2021, we launched an initiative to increase women in leadership and decision-making positions in the industry. Our first step in that initiative will be a kick-off keynote address at Life Science Women AdvanSE on June 24, 2021.
SE Color was launched in November 2020 during our AdvanSE Life Sciences Conference. SE Color’s mission is to support minority life science entrepreneurship, increase investment in minority-owned life science businesses, and improve minority access to information and clinical opportunities.
Our first initiative major initiative is to increase minority participation in vaccinations and clinical trials. We launched this initiative at the AdvanSE Life Sciences conference with a panel focused on the reason for distrust in the community and actions the industry can take to work through that distrust. We will continue to educate ourselves and the community to better understand the challenges and solutions.
In addition, we are hosting our first SE Color Pitchrounds on June 24, 2021 in conjunction with the Women@SLS conference. The winner will receive a $10,000 prize as well as other benefits.
