Absolutely! CONEXEN is mainly organised by local volunteers, supported by a small admin team that helps us keep going as we all have our day-to-day jobs. If you like our events and would like to give us a hand, or if you are thinking of hosting a CONEXEN event in your city, please get in touch with us:Â hello@conexen.net. We are keen to hear from you.
Yes, if you attended an event, we can provide a list of attendees who have consented to share their Linkedin profile during the registration process. Contact us at hello@conexen.net after the event.
With all the years we have in the industry, we have encountered many events we attend where the numbers of sales and BD attendees from service providers and vendors far surpass the number of other types of attendees. We strongly believe that this change the dynamic of the events and in many cases, it discourages some people from ever returning.Â
The ticket approval process helps us maintain a balanced mix of attendees across different categories. All registrations are reviewed to ensure that attendees selected the correct category. All categories have limited places available. The number of places depends on the size of the venue. It is recommended you register early to avoid dissapointment. All categories are released on first-come-first-served basis.Â
Current attendee categories include:
Tickets in some categories ran out faster than others. That is why although you are on the waiting list, we are still encouraging Conexers to register.
All tickets are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that all categories have a limited number of tickets available. Some categories, such as B2B (vendors, suppliers) and Independent Consultants sell faster than the other categories. It is recommended you apply early to avoid dissapointment.Â
Ticket transfers are not always possible. Please contact us at hello@conexen.net to inquire about your specific. If the event is taking place in 7 days or less, it may not be possible for us to reassign your ticket.
We recommend selecting the category that matches your most recent role. For example, if your last job was at a biotech, health tech, or life sciences company, please choose the
Founders/Executive
category. If you worked at a service provider, consultancy, or supplier, then go with that category instead.

Top tip:
When the system asks for your job title and company, you can simply write “Formerly [your last job title]” and “Formerly [your last company].”
Each CONEXEN community has its own local sponsors. If your company is sponsoring a different city than the one you’re trying to attend, that sponsorship may not apply. We recommend reaching out to your marketing or events team, as they usually manage your company’s event allocations centrally and can advise on availability.
