Venture Valkyrie (and capitalist) Lisa Suennen rightly pointed out that JPM is typically a male-dominated affair, which is why she’s written “JP Morgan: Where the Boys are… And not the Girls.”

In a field where women hold many senior positions in actual US healthcare corporations, they are drowned out at this conference by the advancing horde of finance guys in red ties and the CEOs that love them.

Surviving the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference [Plus Insider’s Guide]

POSTED BY:

ERIK CLAUSEN

Each January, the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference – perhaps the life science industry’s largest and most frenzied conference of the year – reliably draws thousands of investors and executives across the healthcare sector to San Francisco’s Union Square neighborhood as hundreds of companies present their latest innovations and dreams in an attempt to pique the interest of venture capitalists and potential partners. In addition to J.P. Morgan, parallel events Biotech Showcase, OneMedForum and RESI Conference ensure that there is a high density of biotech brainpower and capital in the City by the Bay.

The conference week is a mix of long days of presentations and lively evenings of cocktail parties and networking events. With more than 50 networking receptions, days of sessions, and still a volume of work to manage while away from the office, you might need some guidance on where to take your client or potential partner for a meeting, where to refuel or caffeinate, or simply where to hide from the chaos. For these reasons, we decided to let you into our world by creating this simple guide to surviving the 2016 J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference week.

Download it and, if you happen to find yourself in one of our favorite spots, let us know with a direct message on Twitter at @chempetitive. Safe travels, have fun, and get some deals done.
