Annual Oktoberfest Educational
& Networking Event
Wednesday, September 23, 2026
Join us for an interactive educational symposium exploring one of the life sciences industry's most important challenges: building the workforce of tomorrow. Through three dynamic roundtable discussions, you'll engage directly with leaders from industry, education, and workforce development as they examine today's talent gaps, share innovative approaches to workforce readiness, and discuss how the next generation of professionals is being prepared for success.
Designed to foster meaningful conversation rather than traditional presentations, this symposium offers a unique opportunity to exchange ideas, gain practical insights, and collaborate with fellow stakeholders who are shaping the future of North Carolina's life sciences workforce.
