SharePoint Pharma Deployment User Group led by Les Jordan is a great way to learn from peers in Life Science Industry. Plan is to meet first Tuesday of every month. Topics will cover both Business and Technical Aspects along with Case Studies and Issues faced at Pharma companies specially in content management space.

It was great experience attending both meetings at PDUG and also BioIT alliance meeting held in Boston last month.

Also there is live feed for this meeting for remote users.
