Donate One Hour of Your Time to Help Build Canada’s Life Sciences Community
A uniquely tailored networking experience at #NGBi26
We invite you to be part of Grounds for Ideas, a one of a kind networking experience at the NGBi26 Summit. The concept is simple, and the impact is real.
You offer one hour of your time. NGBi Summit attendees bid for the chance to sit down with you. The highest bidder wins a one on one conversation, and the proceeds support a great cause. It is mentorship, meaningful connection, and community building, all over a cup of coffee.
For the next generation of Canadian life sciences leaders, an hour with someone like you can change everything. For you, it is a chance to give back, make a new connection, and shape the future of the field.
Give us one hour of your time on the first day of NGBi26 (Monday September 28, 2026)
Attendees bid for the opportunity to speak with you one on one for a full hour
The top bid wins, and you choose the time that works for you on Monday, Sept 28
We provide the coffee, you provide the feedback and the community wins!
Saying yes to one hour gives back far more than it asks
Startup founders and emerging leaders benefit from your experience
You meet the next generation of Canada's Life Sciences community
Proceeds are donated to one of Canada's top children's hospitals
We spring for the coffee (or tea)
You make a new connection and get a free ticket to NGBi26!
