Upcoming Industry Panels
The Industry Panel Series is a four-part series dedicated to bringing together a coalition of leading industry experts to discuss topics that are critical to the industry today. Our Panel discussions are interactive, informal, and intend to be a conversation more than a presentation. We aim to get you something you can act on. So bring your questions with you!
Emerging companies find it increasingly difficult to reach the right person when seeking funding. It is equally difficult for companies with funds to allocate to wade through countless proposals in search of the right opportunity that aligns with their investment strategy and in some cases their mission. Through the “Meet with…” Series, we provide emerging life science companies with greater access to partnering and/or financing opportunities.
The Business Development Series is produced in partnership with Orrick, our Premier Legal Sponsor that provides pro-bono assistance to our client companies.
You may have overlooked your IP strategy to focus on your product development or funding opportunities. But poor IP strategy can lead to a significant decrease in your companies value and thereby repel potential investors and partners, even lead to devastating litigation.
The BioCenter/Orrick IP & Regulatory Series will give you the keys to a successful IP strategy through interactive workshops presented by Orrick's seasoned legal team.
The one-day BioBriefing class provides a concise overview of modern biology concepts and an introduction to industry technology and terminology.
