In response to overwhelming feedback from both regional and
international biotech and pharmaceutical firms for a large, focused,
stand-alone bio-pharma partnering event in the United States, EBD
Group today announced it is launching "BioPharm America", to be held
September 9-10, 2008 at the Grand Hyatt in Atlanta, Georgia.
"We are very excited about BioPharm America and the enthusiastic
support for what is sure to be one of the most exciting and productive
partnering events of the year," said Carola Schropp, Managing
Director, EBD Group. "Based on the same formula used in EBD Group´s
partnering conferences BIO-Europe and BIO-Europe Spring(R), we expect
BioPharm America to become the premier stand-alone bio-pharma
partnering event in North America."
As a leading partnering firm in the life sciences, EBD Group´s
objective is to grow BioPharm America into North America´s major
international stand-alone partnering event, reaching the size of its
European sister conferences, BIO-Europe and BIO-Europe Spring. Last
year´s BIO-Europe (co-organized with BIO, the Biotechnology Industry
Organization) attracted 2,200 delegates from 47 different countries.
With a clear focus on generating pre-arranged one-to-one
partnering meetings for attendees, the BioPharm America conference
offers an unrivalled opportunity for participants across the entire
biotech value-chain to enter into strategic relationships. Partnering
at BioPharm America will be powered by EBD Group´s acclaimed
partneringONE(TM), the industry´s most advanced networking system.
partneringONE enables delegates to efficiently mine a large pool of
potential partners, and identify and pre-arrange private one-to-one
meetings with dozens of company targets.
