As BioPartnering Europe (BPE) enters its 14th year, it
continues to stand out as the top European life sciences conference
for partnering and business networking opportunities. With nearly 1000
delegates now registered and more than 500 meetings organized so far
through www.biopartnering.com, this year's BPE looks to be one of the
most successful yet. BioPartnering Europe will again be held in
London, UK, on October 8-10th 2006.
biopartnering.com & video profiles foster B2B opportunities
BPE delegates will once again be able to search partnering
opportunities through keyword searches of detailed profiles on all
companies, contact other delegates, arrange private meetings, and
reserve meeting rooms in advance of the conference. In addition,
biopartnering.com now offers a unique component -- video profiles.
This exciting new feature will give Open House and Emerging Company
presenters the ability to add a short video to their biopartnering.com
profile and thus promote their company in a dynamic and engaging
manner.
Networking opportunities
As well as is its innovative and informative program which
features some of the hottest topics in the biotech industry today, BPE
also offers a host of partnering and networking opportunities enabling
delegates to meet potential partners and investors in both formal and
informal settings. BPE will be opened on the evening of Sunday,
October 8th by a reception sponsored by International Business Wales,
which will acknowledge the growing importance of Wales as a biotech
centre in Europe. "BioPartnering Europe remains one of the best
networking conferences to attend," stated Barbara Sawitsky, Director
of Corporate Development for OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. "The partnering
scheduling software really provides added benefit for all attendees."
Dinner Reception at Spitalfields
A highlight of BPE for delegates is the annual dinner reception
which will be held on October 9th at Christ Church Spitalfield's, one
of London's architectural treasures. The magnificent interior which is
300 years old, is one of the finest examples of Baroque architecture
in the UK and will provide the perfect venue for an evening of
informal networking.
Life Sciences Partnering China and Europe Forum
BioPartnering Europe has been selected by the European Commission
as the partner for the 2nd European Forum of the Life Sciences
Partnering China and Europe Forum, which is to be held on October 11,
2006, the day after BPE commences. The Forum aims to promote
partnerships, joint ventures, and collaborations between emerging
European biotech companies and their development agencies and the
Chinese life science industry as well as to learn more about the
strategic opportunities and challenges of working in and with China,
and all BPE registered attendees may attend this event free of charge.
