Welcome to the
OBN Awards 2020
OBN Awards 2020
The OBN Awards celebrate outstanding achievement throughout the life sciences industry. During the evening we aim to shine a light on companies at all stages of development, recognising inspirational leadership, exciting innovation, novel and exciting approaches to unmet clinical need, outstanding company progression and the delivery of real-life tangible results. We also aim to recognise fresh thinking when it comes to collaboration and deal-making as well as the critical role that support organisations play in helping the life sciences industry thrive.
Now in their 12th year, the OBNAwards continue to grow, and we are delighted to be hosting the dinner and awards presentation in a central London location for the first time.
The 2020 OBN Awards will be hosted in the Westbourne Suite of the Royal Lancaster, London, just a short walk from Paddington Station, so well located for guests arriving from Oxford, Cambridge and across the UK.
The evening will start at 7pm with a drinks reception, followed by a three-course meal, interspersed with the presentation Awards in 12 categories. The evening will be professionally hosted and will feature an inspirational keynote from a leader from the life sciences industry. After the awards presentation finishes at 10.30pm, they’ll be plenty of time to network and celebrate with colleagues until the bar closes at 12am.
