Welcome to CONEXEN Manchester – A warm and welcoming community for professionals and founders in biopharma, life sciences, and health tech in Manchester! Here, we invite you to join us for an informal and friendly gathering where connections are made, knowledge is shared, and friendships are formed. Come with an open heart and a willingness to “listen” rather than “sell.”
We will be hosting our Manchester event at the amazing space of Cloud 23 Cocktail Bar. It is a casual setting where we can come together, exchange greetings, engage in conversation, and simply enjoy a pleasant time.
Picture this as more than just an event, it’s a life sciences community gathering. Our focus is on providing you with an opportunity to meet fellow professionals and founders in a relaxed and amiable environment. We’ll share conversations over delicious food and drinks, and leave with a sense of excitement and a pocketful of new contacts and ideas.
Join us for an evening surrounded by incredible people, and let’s make it a night to remember. Looking forward to sharing good company and creating memorable connections!
Theme: The Forces Reshaping Work & Culture in Life Sciences.
Join a focused discussion led by Paul Bradley-Law on the forces redefining culture in a hybrid world. Our panellists will explore how hybrid working, evolving HR trends, leadership style, and a multi-generational workforce are reshaping how organisations operate, alongside the growing influence of AI in the workplace.
We’ll examine how trust is built through clarity and candour in uncertain times—without defaulting to micromanagement—and how to address “proximity bias” to ensure fair visibility, recognition, and opportunity across distributed teams.
Join peers shaping the North-West Life Sciences ecosystem and driving the region’s growing influence.
