Xtalks Rx - The definitive community for 21st Century Life Science professionals

Perhaps more than any other business sector, the Pharmaceutical & Biotech industry, has demonstrated an insatiable thirst for quality information to ensure compliance, reduce time-to-market and drive performance. This is true across all segments of the business, from pre-clinical / clinical research & development, to operations, manufacturing and distribution, and extends to sales, marketing and commercialization.

In order to satisfy the information needs of the pharmaceutical industry’s senior executive, in 2002 Honeycomb Worldwide established its PILS (People in Life Sciences) community. The PILS member-only network is reserved for the industry’s most senior executives, as qualified across key pharmaceutical functions and disciplines. PILS represents the industry’s most advanced, executive peer networking and knowledge sharing forum.

Today, Xtalks Rx extends the reach of PILS to a broader representation of life science professionals. Xtalks Rx now provides accessibility to information, research and insight to all pharmaceutical executives around the globe. Through its unique blend of practitioner-led discussion and implementation case studies, Xtalks Rx provides an unparalleled avenue for discussion on the issues affecting the industry today. PILS and Xtalks have together served executives from 100% of Big Pharma & Biotech as well as those from a plethora of other Life Science organizations (view list).

Xtalks Rx – Discussion and Debate Direct to your Desktop

As a Life Sciences executive, it is essential to have access to current information and a forum to gain insight from your peers, in order to support your every-day decision making. Until recently, your options in this respect would primarily have been limited to attending physical events (conferences, tradeshows, etc) which can be a significant draw both on your time and your organization’s resources. These traditional events also suffer from the burden of logistical time-lags, which can be a major draw-back when issues of immediate importance to the industry need to be addressed.

Xtalks Rx now provides all Life Science practitioners with the most convenient and efficient gateway to essential information and peer interaction.

Xtalks Rx webinars are:

• Research based
• Presented by the industry’s leading authorities
• Topical
• Convenient, Cost Effective and Time Efficient

Research based

The foundation of Honeycomb’s PILS programs and communities is the executive member profiling. This unique process allows us to drill deeper into the real issues affecting individual executives in the Life Science sector and provides a level of insight and detail unmatched by any other market research organization.

Please view some of the many member profiling surveys conducted within our PILS communities:

• Discovery and Pre-Clinical Trials Excellence Cell Series Profiling Survey Example
• Clinical Trials Excellence Cell Series Profiling Survey Example
• Commercialization Cell Series Profiling Survey Example

In addition to extensive member profiling our research and conference production teams are constantly conducting detailed research through direct contact with Life Science executives on a daily basis. This research again allows us to build a real-time picture of current challenges and concerns impacting the industry. This research is analyzed by our Content Committee to build an agenda of events based around key industry issues. Xtalks then identifies the best speakers from a practitioner perspective as well as organizations that have the expertise to deliver case-study format implementation presentations.

Presented by the industry’s leading authorities

PILS and Xtalks have, together, delivered more practitioner-led content to the Life Science industry through the webinar platform than any other organization.

Topical

Xtalks Rx events are based around research and insight (see Research Based) and tackle the issues that Life Science executives what to address as a matter of urgency.
