[Hybrid] Leading Life Sciences: Driving Economic Growth in Greater Philadelphia


Monday, May 02, 2022
3:00 PM – 5:00 PM

The Life Sciences industry in Greater Philadelphia continues to thrive and is poised for exponential growth and leadership in the space. Moreover, the region has established itself as a global hub for research, talent, and capital, attracting companies in cell and gene therapy, gene editing, and connected health.

Join the Chamber for a dynamic, multi-location event that is the first of its kind and will bring regional leaders together around the topic. This event offers the opportunity to participate solely virtually or in-person at one of four "viewing party" locations. After the program, those attending in-person will be able to tour their location of choice.

All participants will hear from Joe Colletti, Executive Vice President, Jones Lang LaSalle, with an update on the real estate developments impacting our region’s life sciences market. Learn about the key drivers impacting real estate decisions of some of the fastest-growing companies, the critical factors examined while evaluating space requirements, and how the Greater Philadelphia life sciences market continues to attract both early-stage and well-established leaders in the industry. The program will be followed by a moderated panel discussion featuring representatives from local organizations driving growth in this space.

Registration for Viewing Party locations is closed. We encourage you to register for the virtual option.
