Xtalks Open Mic: Contribute Today

What happens when we hand the mic to professionals across the life sciences, from biotech founders and clinical researchers to medical device innovators and healthcare advocates, and invite them to speak openly, unscripted and unfiltered?

You get honest insight, authentic experiences and real conversations that define the future of our industry.

That is the goal of Xtalks Open Mic, an ongoing initiative that welcomes voices from every corner of the life sciences community, including those in pharma, biotech, medical device, research and healthcare.

What Is Xtalks Open Mic?

Xtalks Open Mic is a video series and community platform that invites participants to reflect on meaningful questions about science, innovation and the future of healthcare.

Each submission is a short, personal video that helps spark dialogue across disciplines. It is a space for honest conversation, featuring the real people who advance research, discovery and patient care every day.

We ask questions that encourage participants to share what motivates them, what challenges them and what they hope to see next in the life sciences.
