Networking Reception
An in-person networking event bringing together 100+ University of Toronto trainees and life science industry professionals.
Event Overview
As our largest in-person event of the year, the Networking Reception brings together over 100 trainees and 35 life science professionals for an evening of meaningful networking and career exploration.
Professionals represent a diverse range of industries, including Medical Affairs, Regulatory Affairs, Research & Development, Consulting, Marketing, Medical Writing, Science Communication, and more.
Event Format
The Networking Reception is a 3-hour evening event featuring:
Four 20-minute structured networking sessions
A light dinner
30-minute open networking session
During the structured networking sessions, trainees are assigned to round tables with 1–2 professionals based on their indicated industry preferences. Professionals remain at their assigned tables while attendees rotate between sessions, allowing participants to connect with multiple professionals throughout the evening.
The open networking session provides an opportunity for attendees and professionals to continue conversations and connect freely with anyone in attendance.
Due to limited capacity, registration priority is given to University of Toronto graduate students (MSc, PhD, and professional degree programs) and postdoctoral fellows.
