The final program has now been released and can be viewed here. This year we have 38 speakers over two days, in a full program featuring some of the most dynamic and interesting companies in the sector.
CEO Forum
New this year will be a CEO Forum, which will be held on the day before the commencement of formal sessions, on Wednesday 5 August, starting at 4.00pm and finishing 6.30pm (Ascend Room 1, QT Hotel). It will be followed by the CEO Dinner (at Hotel St Moritz).
Investor Meeting Portal
Also new this year will be an Investor Meeting Portal. This will allow investors to more easily secure meetings with biotech CEOs attending the event. This will be facilitated by Bioshares & InvestorHub.
