With the life sciences industry currently experiencing unprecedented growth, innovation, and visibility, it is more important than ever that women in leadership work together to increase their prominence and recognition within the field. The ACI “WILS” conference has earned its standing as the one and only forum where female leaders in the life sciences legal industry can convene, connect, and call on one another to act regarding their careers, aspirations, and personal growth.

Our conferences provide industry specific forums for female powerbrokers to unite and discuss the substantive legal developments, challenges and opportunities facing women in their respective industries as well as provide them with the business contacts and communication and leadership skills necessary for continued success and career advancement.
TESTIMONIALS
If law firms and law departments are serious about developing women leaders, then they’ll send them to this conference. The who’s who of health care lawyers are here and there are multiple opportunities for informal networking and mentoring conversations.
This conference is one of the few events I have attended that is focused on women helping women with real-life, practical tips on how to make a significant impact on your career. Many of the speakers are willing to share stories not just of success, but stories of adversity and how to turn those situations around into successful ones. I block my calendar early, so I can be sure to attend each year.
GLOBAL SERIES OF LIFE SCIENCES
