EVENTS

Our Events service the Life Sciences, Academia, Hospitals, and Health Care Industries.

At DA4S there is an event for everyone.  These events are designed to bring everyone together through educational programs, keynote, and guest speakers, as well as ample networking opportunities.

Some of our events are for Members Only but our main events are open to anyone.

MAIN EVENTS
We host our two main conferences each year, one on the East Coast in New Jersey and one on the West Coast in Southern California.  These events are limited in size, to allow attendees an opportunity to connect on a more intimate level.

ONE-DAY GEO CLUSTER
In addition to our main conference events, we also host a one-day Geo Cluster each year. We introduced the Geo Cluster event in 2019 hosting it in Chicago, followed by Boston and Los Angeles. In 2025, our Geo Cluster will be held in San Diego by Dexcom.

MENTORSHIP PITCH COMPETITION
Our Mentorship Pitch Competition event is for all members in the current year Mentorship program. This takes places in conjunction with our East Coast conference.

MATCHMAKING EVENTS
Our  popular Matchmaking events are held twice a year. In 2025 a virtual matchmaking day will take place on March 12th for DA4S Members only, and a hybrid format will be offered on September 11th to everyone attending our West Coast conference. In 2024 we hosted over 1000 match meetings!
