CONEXEN Oxford is now SOLD OUT! 🎉
Stay tuned for our next event announcement, and keep an eye on our Community page for updates. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Welcome to the CONEXEN Oxford Community Event – A warm and welcoming community for professionals and founders across life sciences, biopharma, medical devices and health tech in Oxford. Join us for an informal, friendly evening where connections are made, knowledge is shared and friendships are formed. Come with an open heart and a willingness to “listen” rather than “sell.”
Our next CONEXEN Oxford Community Event takes place on 14th October 2026 at the Oxford Centre for Innovation (The Oxford Trust).
Picture this as more than just an event. It is a community coming together. Our focus is on giving you the space to meet fellow professionals in a relaxed and friendly setting, share conversations that matter, and leave with new contacts, fresh ideas and a sense of what’s possible.
Join us for an evening surrounded by incredible people. We look forward to sharing good company and creating memorable connections.
The Art of Reinvention in Life Sciences
Life rarely follows the path we expect. Sometimes change is unexpected, and sometimes it’s a choice. Yet the moments that challenge us most can also open the door to something even better.
This October, Victoria Higgins (Executive Coach at Beyond the Noise) will bring together a panel of leaders from across the life sciences, biopharma and health tech industries who have embraced change and reinvented themselves. From launching businesses and making bold career moves to pursuing long-held ambitions and exploring entirely new directions, each has a story to tell.
Whether they were pushed by circumstance or pulled by opportunity, our panellists have navigated change with courage, creativity and resilience. Join us for honest, inspiring and occasionally funny stories, then stay afterwards to network with fellow leaders and continue the conversation over drinks.
Moderator: Victoria Higgins(Executive Coach at Beyond the Noise)
