5/5
Put on by Why Summits in San Francisco, this was an awesome opportunity to speak to a pharmaceutical / biotech audience. The top reason for anyone to attend a conference is to meet new people, understand how your work lives differ & intersect, and applying what you learn from everyone’s experience & expertise. And as a speaker, I also get a great big dose of clarity on how I can improve next time.

Vice President, Program Management, Edwards Lifesciences
5/5
You know there are a lots of other places that you can go to do talk about project management and portfolio management which I really love, you know a large global meetings like DIA, NF BIO, but there’s nothing like the intimacy that Why summits provides to us and being able to network with the small group of people.
