Connecting life sciences professionals

The State of the Union is a linked event, traditionally taking place the evening before the knowledge for growth exhibition.
For the second time in a row, the event will take place in the same venue as knowledge for growth, at the Ghent International Convention Center.

This event is a wonderful opportunity to connect with your peers in a unique and friendly setting.

Important: Only C-level & Senior management professionals may register for this event.
