Open House Presentations

A hallmark of BPN is the Open House Presentations that features 56 biopharmaceutical and diagnostics companies that give interactive presentations in specially constructed booths and a 10 minute podium/PowerPoint presentation in a plenary hall. Presenting companies are available during a 2-hour period for informal discussions with business development executives. Presenting companies devise unique ways to showcase aspects of their businesses including: science and technology; partnering strategies; developmental programs; commercialization plans; product opportunities; and manufacturing capabilities. A great benefit of the Open House is that delegates are able to ask the presenters detailed questions, and sessions are lively and interactive. Private meeting rooms are available for delegates to continue these discussions.

Emerging Company Presentations

BPN showcases a number of young companies from various parts of the world. Twenty companies offer 14-minute podium presentations in the main plenary hall. Each company will then be available for private discussions directly afterwards. The Emerging Company format offers early stage companies seeking VC funding or who have early stage partnering goals to present themselves to an audience reflecting these goals. Emerging Company presentations are limited to companies founded in or after 2005.
