It was again an absolute honour to help organize this year’s Nucleate Alumni Summit in the Bay Area! This global gathering truly embodies Nucleate's mission to unite the most influential minds in biotech, fostering inspiration and collaboration with the next generation of leaders. We elevated the Summit this year with: A stunning and tranquil setting at the 1440 Multiversity, An exceptional lineup of keynote speakers and panelists, Intentional networking through roundtable discussions and intimate fireside chats, and much more. We won’t see it now, but a conversation over these days could be the spark for the next unicorn. A small piece of wisdom from a panel could go on to shape an individual’s career. A chit-chat at lunch could become a lifelong friendships. None of this would be possible without the amazing community Nucleate has built and the support from both our organisation wide and Summit sponsors. A big thanks must also go to the Summit Planning Team, an amazing group of student volunteers who put their best foot forward every step of the way, and very meticulously curated an unforgettable experience for all the attendees. The Summit not only celebrates the achievements of our alumni, leadership and partners but also fuels the energy for new ventures within Nucleate. If you're interested in being part of this mission, feel free to reach out!
