EBD Group launches “BioPharm America™”:
New U.S. Bio-Pharma Partnering Conference to be
held September 9-10, 2008 at the Grand Hyatt in Atlanta, Georgia
Carlsbad, CA., March 6, 2008: 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®, 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™, 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.
