The Vanguard Network Announces Virtual Event for Life Sciences CEOs: Seeing Around Corners

The Vanguard Network is pleased to announce a special virtual session, Seeing Around Corners: What Today’s Life Sciences CEO Needs to Know, on November 17, 2025, from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM EST. This session replaces the in-person Life Sciences CEO Forum originally planned for Boston.

To preserve the Forum’s core value—real peer-to-peer dialogue—this virtual gathering will bring CEOs together for a candid, confidential discussion about leading in times of disruption.

Fred Hassan, Chair of the Vanguard Life Sciences CEO Network and former CEO of Schering-Plough, Pharmacia, and Bausch & Lomb, will join as a featured leader. Known for transforming companies and reviving innovation pipelines, Fred will share insights on anticipating change, making decisions amid uncertainty, and sustaining credibility and culture under pressure.

No podium, no PowerPoint, no presentations—just direct conversation among peers.
