SUMMARY:Withum Tax Lunch & Learn: Maximizing Tax Incentives for Growth-Stage Life Sciences Companies
DESCRIPTION:Join Withum’s tax specialists for an insightful Lunch & Learn focused on two of the most valuable tax incentives available to emerging and high-growth life sciences companies: Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) and the Research & Development (R&D) Tax Credit. \nWhether you’re developing groundbreaking technologies\, raising capital\, or planning for future liquidity events\, understanding these incentives can have a significant impact on your company’s growth strategy and long-term value. Learn how early-stage decisions around entity structure\, equity issuance\, and compliance can help preserve valuable QSBS benefits that may allow shareholders to exclude up to 100% of eligible capital gains. We’ll also explore how companies can leverage the R&D Tax Credit to offset federal tax liabilities—or even generate immediate cash flow benefits through payroll tax offsets of up to $500\,000 annually. \nDuring this interactive session\, you’ll gain practical insights into: \n\nMaximizing QSBS opportunities through proactive planning and structuring\nCommon pitfalls that can jeopardize valuable tax benefits\nIdentifying qualifying R&D activities and expenses\nMonetizing R&D credits even when operating at a loss\nTax strategies that help fuel innovation\, growth\, and investor value\n\nEnjoy lunch\, connect with fellow innovators and walk away with actionable strategies that could help your company reduce taxes\, improve cash flow and position itself for long-term success. \nWho Should Attend: Founders\, CEOs\, CFOs\, finance leaders\, investors and life sciences professionals interested in optimizing tax incentives and enhancing enterprise value. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:Build or Buy?: Evaluating AI Vendors and Tools for Life Sciences
DESCRIPTION:This is a 90-minute session for life sciences professionals who keep ending up in vendor demos without the right questions to ask. We’ll cover the three categories of AI tools showing up in your field right now\, and the five questions that reveal what any vendor claim is actually saying and what it isn’t. \n​The session ends with a workshop: vendor pitches\, applied framework\, written output. You’ll leave knowing exactly what to ask the next time someone puts a demo in front of you. \n​No prior technical background needed. \n​Who this is for: Operation leads\, IT heads\, R&D professionals\, regulatory and clinical teams\, and anyone in life sciences who evaluates\, recommends\, or works alongside AI tools. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:How to Build a Working AI System in Life Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Everyone in life sciences has been told to use AI. Most have not been shown properly how. \n​Due to popular demand\, we’re hosting this session in person in SF. This is a 90-minute hands-on session for life sciences professionals who want to actually understand what AI systems do and leave having built one. \n​We’ll cover the mental model that makes everything else click: how AI systems process information\, why the tools you use behave the way they do\, and how to write instructions that produce reliable outputs. Then you’ll build a working assistant (and not agent – we’ll tell you why not) around a task from your own workflow. No coding experience required. \n​Bring a laptop\, your LLM of choice\, and one problem you’d like AI to help with. You’ll leave with something that works. \n​Who this is for: R&D professionals\, clinicians\, post-docs\, research scientists\, and anyone in life sciences who works with AI tools and wants to understand them better. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:
