NC State College of Management’s Seventh Annual BioSciences Forum to be Held Oct. 28
The Seventh Annual BioSciences Forum will be held on Friday, October 28, 2011, at the North Carolina Biotechnology Center in Research Triangle Park, N.C.
The event begins with participant registration and a continental breakfast at 7 a.m. Presentations begin at 8 a.m., and the event concludes at 1:00 p.m.
The BioSciences Management Initiative at the NC State College of Management presents the annual forum to provide an opportunity for open discussion of management issues unique to the biotechnology and biosciences industries. There is no charge to attend the event, but pre-registration is required.
The bioscience industries are complex, fast-evolving, highly entrepreneurial, science-driven, and ethically-charged. As a group, they are arguably the most important technology of the next 20 years. Industry leaders and managers, entrepreneurs, investors, graduate students, faculty, and others interested in the biosciences industries would benefit from the presentations and networking at the BioSciences Forum. This event features four thought-leaders from the industry who will provide valuable insight into the rapidly changing industry.
