Kalamazoo Welcomes the 2009 MichBio Expo November 3-4!

MichBio is excited to bring its 2009 Expo to the Radisson Plaza Hotel in Kalamazoo, November 3-4.   The MichBio Expo is the largest single gathering of biosciences professionals in the state attracting more than 500 biosciences professionals and service providers, and more than 60 exhibitors last year.  The follow-up survey revealed that over 80 percent of attendees had a high level of satisfaction with the event.

“…an outstanding conference that was content-rich, well timed and well organized and totally re-energized me for moving my own business forward.  I had the opportunity to network with old friends and new people who may prove to have interesting business synergies…”

“I really enjoyed the event, especially the panel discussions that involved people from outside the Michigan start-up community. Having people from BIO, J&J, Lilly, GE Healthcare, etc. was really nice.”

"Very good Expo this year. Good energy and a lot of the right people"

This year's two-day program offers ample time for networking as well as a packed schedule of sessions and workshops.  Conference highlights:
