Why Join This Focused Group of EHS Leaders?

With 2025 bringing heightened regulatory uncertainty, EHS professionals in the pharmaceutical and biopharma sectors face growing pressure to adapt. As the pharmaceutical and biopharma industries continue to evolve with new drug modalities, research methods, and manufacturing environments, so do the risks to employee safety and regulatory compliance. These novel therapies bring emerging risks that require EHS professionals to develop adaptive strategies to protect workers, meet shifting regulatory expectations, and prevent costly incidents that can disrupt operations and harm brand reputation.

Connecting 80+ EHS experts in pharma and biopharma on the West coast, this year's meeting will address the challenges of implementing novel technologies into EHS operations, communicating the importance of safety programs and influencing leadership to prioritize it, and understanding how to achieve waste and sustainability targets for lab and biological waste.

Join in on this opportunity to engage with leaders in health and safety in the biopharma industry as they discuss how they’re applying cutting-edge innovations, practical strategies for waste and training management, and strategic roadmaps to successfully protect workers for the future of biopharma.
