Creative Disruption Forum - The Latest Funding & Dealmaking Strategies
Co-hosted by Tony Sedgwick and Graham Combe on 17 June 2026, the Creative Disruption Forum lands at the Mills & Reeve HQ (Botanic House, Cambridge) as a core highlight of Cambridge Wide Open Week. This high-impact, interactive session zeroes in on the latest funding and dealmaking strategies working for life sciences innovation companies. Operating strictly under Chatham House Rules, the forum bypasses standard "death by PowerPoint" presentations in favor of authentic, peer-led dialogue. Bringing together biotech CEOs, top-tier investors, and dealmakers, it’s an intimate space to tackle commercialization barriers, share real experiences, and build trusted regional networks. This CDF is capped at maximum of 60 participants, so it is recommended you get your tickets ASAP from Eventbrite to avoid any disappointment. Afterwards, many of our participants will be going to the CWOW Garden Party at the O2h Group HQ in Hauxton House which is from 4-9 pm, last year attracted over 1000 attendees from the life sciences innovation ecosystem.
