TORONTO, Aug. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Xtalks, a global community of life science professionals, is excited to announce the launch of Xtalks Open Mic, a new initiative created to elevate authentic perspectives from professionals across pharma, biotech, medtech, healthcare and academia.
A New Forum for Real Conversations
Xtalks Open Mic invites life science professionals worldwide to share their insights in short video submissions — providing an open stage for authentic conversations about the challenges, inspirations and hopes shaping healthcare and research.
“When those who live and work in this industry share their experiences directly, you get genuine, unscripted perspectives that capture the realities of life sciences today,” said John Hughes, CEO of Xtalks.
Xtalks Open Mic focuses on authentic experiences and honest reflections. This approach encourages fresh ideas and deeper conversations across the life sciences community.
Throughout the year, Xtalks will pose timely and thought-provoking questions on both evergreen themes and emerging topics and trends in the life sciences industry. These questions will encourage the global life sciences community to share new insights and diverse perspectives.
