Networking Events


AMWA networking events are a great way to connect with others in the medical writing space. These events are open to everyone.

AMWA Committee Members run networking events on a regular basis - keep an eye on our social media and e-news to find out about networking events in your city!

AMWA members can also host networking events in their own cities!  AMWA will assist with the organising and provide funds to cover drinks and nibbles. If you'd like to organise your own, reach out to us at marketing@medicalwriters.org
