Conexen Manchester July — The Forces Reshaping Work & Culture in Life Sciences

Join the Manchester life sciences community for an evening exploring how hybrid working, AI, and multi-generational teams are reshaping workplace culture.

This month’s theme dives into the forces redefining how biopharma and health tech organisations operate. Led by moderator Paul Bradley-Law (Founder, The Great People Machine), the panel brings together Ike Cooke (LYVA Labs) and Julia Buckler (Qiagen) to unpack evolving HR trends, leadership styles, and the challenge of building trust across distributed teams — without falling into micromanagement.

When: Wednesday 1 July 2026, 18:00–20:30
Where: Cloud 23 Cocktail Bar, The Manchester Deansgate Hotel, 303 Deansgate, Manchester M3 4LQ
Hosted by: Kadans Science Partner

The evening opens at 18:00 for drinks and networking, followed by talks at 18:30 and more food, drinks, and conversation from 19:15. A ticketed event with refreshments included.
