BIO 2009 - Atlanta, Georgia
May 18 - 21, 2009

LifeSciences BC will be at BIO this year, and will be coordinating activities and events for our BC delegates.  Please ensure we know you'll be at BIO, as we will have information to share about invitation-only and VIP events and discounts available to you.  Without your response, we won't be able to impart this information. Please contact Rosine Hage-Moussa at rhagemoussa@lifesciencesbc.ca to confirm who will attend from your organization.

Due to the immense resources required to mount a provincial pavilion, LifeSciences BC is refocusing our participation at BIO this year and will not be coordinating a British Columbia Pavilion, but organizations are still offered the opportunity to exhibit within the Canadian pavilion should they not delay.  Read more
