Leadership Lunch Series
A curated lunch series bringing together Life Science Cares Philadelphia’s board, leadership from our corporate partners, and a select group of founders, operators, investors, and ecosystem leaders. Designed for thoughtful conversation, meaningful connection, and a stronger Philadelphia life sciences community.
Participation is intentionally limited to keep the conversation thoughtful, relevant, and highly engaged. Sponsorship, partnership, and board engagement are the clearest paths into the series.
A leadership room connected to the Underdog Series
These lunches are intentionally paired with the broader Underdog Series later in the day. Together, they create a fuller conversation about what it takes to build, stay, and grow in Philadelphia, and why a more connected life sciences ecosystem matters for the city.
The lunch itself is designed to be substantive and useful: a room for leaders who are actively shaping the region, engaging with the work, and exploring how their companies can play a meaningful role in Philadelphia’s future.
2026 lunch dates
Three lunches across the year, each aligned with an Underdog Series gathering and designed to convene a small, high-value room for candid conversation and meaningful engagement.
