Prepare your strategy. Strengthen your story. Maximize your impact at RESI 2026 & JPM Healthcare 2027.

As you prepare for RESI 2026 & JPM 2027, the question isn’t just who you’ll meet, it’s whether your data, your strategy, and your story will stand up to investor scrutiny.

Certara’s Biotech Forum is a strategic workshop designed for biotech executives, founders, and investors who want to sharpen their development plan, de-risk their program, and enter RESI & JPM 2027 meetings with clarity and confidence. This forum is held in partnership with Life Science Nation (LSN), the organizers of RESI, giving you a direct line into how investors at RESI actually evaluate opportunities, straight from the source.

In a single focused day, we’ll address the early-stage decisions that most often derail promising programs and show you how to avoid them before you step into critical partnering and investor conversations, including a dedicated session on how to prepare for, run, and follow up on your RESI and JPM meetings themselves.
