Proxima's Quarterly Convening

​Proxima's Q2 Gathering

​Proxima is back for Q2 ✨

​Each quarter, we bring together an intimate group of senior healthcare, life sciences, and biotech leaders for an evening of cocktails and real conversation.

​We're thrilled to welcome Ben Birnbaum, Co-Founder, President and CTO of Inductive Bio as our special guest speaker.

​Ben has more than a decade of experience leading teams applying state-of-the-art machine learning to real-world problems. Before Inductive, Ben was a Senior Director of Engineering at Flatiron Health, where he led the company’s development of ML algorithms and infrastructure to make sense out of hundreds of millions of electronic health records.

​Previously he was at Google, where he built ML systems for natural language understanding in Search. He has a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Washington, where he researched and published on topics in the mathematical theory of algorithms and in applied machine learning and human-computer interaction.

​What to expect:

• ​Good drinks, food, and conversation with senior executives, investors, and operators from across the NYC life sciences ecosystem

• ​A memorable venue (past events have been held at the Explorer's Club and Central Park Tower)

• ​Surprises — previous gatherings have featured a honey sommelier and a card-trick mentalist
