SUMMARY:WEST: Career Possibilities - Breaking Traditional Career Boundaries in Biopharma Communications
DESCRIPTION:Communications careers rarely follow predictable paths and the most successful leaders often emerge from unexpected journeys across disciplines\, companies\, and challenges. This collaborative panel between Ticket to Biotech and WEST brings together communications executives who’ve navigated these winding paths to strategic roles\, offering a candid look at career evolution in our field. \n\n\n\nThe panelists have wrestled with career decisions that seemed risky at the time\, taking on projects outside their comfort zones\, and finding their way when the next step wasn’t obvious. They’ll share the real story behind their moves between disciplines\, including which transitions truly expanded their strategic value\, what they wished someone had told them earlier\, and how they recognized growth opportunities that others missed. Whether you’re considering your next move or building a team with diverse backgrounds\, this conversation offers practical insights from those who’ve built success through nontraditional routes. \nTakeaways: \n\nSummarize practical approaches for identifying and pursuing growth opportunities across different communications functions\nReview strategies for translating experience from one communications discipline to success in another\nDiscuss how non-traditional career moves can position you as a more valuable strategic advisor in biopharma\nDevelop and build confidence to make brave career leaps when conventional paths feel limiting\n\n\n\n\nAgenda:\n4:30-5:00pm: Registration\n5:00-6:00pm: Open Networking\n6:00-7:00pm: Panel Discussion\n7:00-7:30pm: Open Networking \nLocation:\nTBD; In-Person \nCost:  \nTBD \nGiven WEST’s mission is to promote women’s development in STEM we would like to offer a free spot in our workshops to those in transition between jobs or who cannot afford the ticket price.
