Pittsburgh’s legacy of grit and reinvention sets the stage for WIB-Pittsburgh's 12th Annual P.O.W.E.R. event, showcasing the region’s most dynamic women leaders in life sciences and healthcare. Join us for an evening of bold insight and inspiring dialogue as these trailblazers share how they’ve turned disruption, technological, financial, regulatory, and organizational, into a catalyst for transformation. From navigating volatile supply chains to securing funding in uncertain markets, they’ll reveal what it takes to lead with resilience, drive innovation, and reimagine the future of biotech and healthcare. This year’s theme, From Steel to Science, celebrates the region’s industrial heritage while spotlighting its powerful pivot toward innovation, equity, and growth in the life sciences sector.
