Bio-IT World Conference & Expo would like to thank all of the speakers and attendees, sponsors and exhibitors who came to Boston for this year’s annual event. With over 1,700 attendees participating during the course of the event, the Expo drew a record number of attendees and exhibitors, despite the volcano in Iceland.
Year after year, the Expo continues to unite life sciences, pharmaceutical, clinical, healthcare, and IT professionals and provide the perfect venue to share information and discuss enabling technologies that are driving biomedical research and the drug development process.
Among the highlights of this year’s Bio-IT World Conference & Expo were:
