Also announced during Journal Club is the SBN’s Biotech Expo and Conference. Having attended this with Hank last year, I must say that it’s an amazing opportunity to network and meet with industry professionals and academics in the field of biotechnology.
When you go down there, you’ll also be able to network with future, potential sponsors of the team. There’s also educational breakout sessions that you can attend. Included in the cost of registration is, as far as I remembered, a virtually incessant flow of snacks (typical of a conference and networking event).
The details of the event are here:
- Date: 21 Jan 2010
- Time: 4:45PM-9:00PM. Actual event program starts at around 5:30PM.
- Information Page: thesbn.ca/biotech_expo.htm
- Registration: http://expo2010atsbn.eventbrite.com/?ref=ebtn
If you want to come down, please register first, and then e-mail me (Eric Ma) at ericmajinglong[at]gmail[dot]com. If we have enough people, we’ll organize everybody to somehow get down there together. (Literally, iGEM Storms the SBN!)
Also, don’t be afraid of networking – we’ll prepare some tips to get you equipped! This is a REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY!
