Entering its 14th year, LSO’s Annual Ideas to Action Forum brings together leaders from industry, academia, and government to discuss how we can take actionable steps to build a resilient, vibrant, and diverse life sciences sector. This year’s theme, Disruption and Opportunity: Seizing a Pivotal Moment for Ontario’s Life Sciences Ecosystem, will explore issues that will affect and transform our sector—from antimicrobial resistance and climate change to artificial intelligence and advances in precision medicine and medical technologies. Join us as we collaborate on what steps our sector can take today to navigate change and opportunity in the life sciences sector.
