BIO '97 Conference, Houston, 9-12 June
Background
The annual BIO meeting is the major showcase for the Biotechnology Industry
Organisation (BIO). It is exceptionally well patronised by the US biotech
fraternity and, increasingly, by the non US biotech community. While the
major focus of the meeting is the business side of biotech, the program
covers a variety of subjects including new scientific directions, finance,
corporate communication, legal aspects, education and more.
