Welcome to CONEXEN Oxford – A warm and welcoming community for professionals and founders in biopharma, life sciences, and health tech in Oxford! 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 next Oxford event at the Oxford Centre for Innovation, just a few steps away from the train station. Our events are run in 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 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!
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)
Panellists:
- Dr Tammy Dougan, Senior Business Partnerships Manager, University of Oxford,
- Majid Islam, Co-Founder, Executive Team Alignment, Alignment Cubed, and

And finally…
This is a ticketed event.
Please let your colleagues and industry friends know about us, we hope to build it into a great resource for the ecosystem over the coming months and years. Attendance will be taken at this event. If you register but don’t show up, this has a knock on effect on event arrangements. If it happens 3 times, we may need to reconsider your participation. This is simply a measure to allow appropriate respect to the organisers, speakers, sponsors, and your fellow Conexers.
See you there!
