The trends in vertical integration continue as entities seek control, predictability, and efficiencies. Some are commonplace and expected, but there have been newer ventures which may not be intuitive. We see Novo Nordisk buying contract manufacturers in an effort to control capacity and relieve drug shortages and we'll discuss the Catalent acquisition. We've also been watching Eli Lilly build out Lilly Direct, now adding the Amazon home delivery pharmacy services. We see payers and providers merging and integrating, and we've even seen a private Equity firm, General Catalyst, buy a rural hospital/hospital system. Join us for a discussion of where these transactions and partnerships add value, and perhaps some cautionary tales.
The life science industry, which encompasses biotech, pharma, med tech, devices, diagnostics, and their collaborators, shares numerous attributes with other industries. However, due to its exceptionally long product life cycles, extended time to revenue, and highly regulated environment, this industry presents unique challenges for its executives and boards. The purpose of this peer group is to foster mutual learning among its members, both in recognizing shared experiences and appreciating the distinctive nuances that set the life science industry apart.

A Look Inside Athena is held monthly for prospect members to come and understand how Athena works. They will learn more about the backstory of Athena, see a tour of our platform, and have the opportunity to discuss more of what they are interested in and ask questions about joining our community.
Learn about the most pressing topics facing executives today in an intimate, yet casual, virtual setting. Hosted by board directors and leaders from the world's top brands.
Gather with Athena members in your area for a casual, in-person Meetup. These are planned by request and hosted by Athena members in various cities. If you're interested in hosting and/or joining a meetup in the future, reach out to the Member Success Team and let them know.
We have an incredible community of female leaders at Athena and we want to bring you closer together! Join a Peer Group and build a network of peers you can engage with for guidance, lessons learned and insights around a shared interest. Choose a topic that most interests you or drop in and out of multiple peer groups as it suits you best. You’ll find at least one peer group available to join every week. Each live session goes for one hour, no preparation is needed, just show up as you are. We look forward to seeing you there!
A Learning Circle is an opportunity to connect with a small group of other Athena members in a focused yet casual setting, creating accountability around targeted learning to assist you in achieving your goals. Over the course of 6 sessions, club members will meet every 2 weeks to participate in an organic, peer-led discussion of the session's "chapters" consisting of 1-2 Athena salons which are to be reviewed on your own prior to the group session. When joining, members are committing to completing all 6 sessions.
Typically led by one of Athena's coaches, networking events provide members an opportunity to meet one another in a smaller intimate and virtual setting.
These are typically in-person events led by Coco and our partnering companies on topics that are relevant to the industry and audience of our business partners.
A workshop is an interactive session for members to actively practice something, such as their pitch. These sessions typically involve breakout rooms, member to member feedback and are not recorded.
For members new to Athena looking for ways to engage, these bi-weekly orientations led by an Athena Member Success Manager, provide a live tour of Athena, member success insights, and a chance to get questions answered.
Athena customizes virtual learning events with expert business leaders tailored to a unique company’s needs. These events cultivate cross-functional community, development, and learning across the partner organization.
Athena listens and we're always adding new event types and opportunities for members to engage. See what new events we are currently offering members.
