A Dedicated IP Track and Increased IP Counsel participation
This is the first time we are including sessions highlighting the importance of IP. Why? The partnering process depends on two arms of life science management: business development and IP counsel. As the licensing and acquisition environment copes with the shift in the economic environment, BioNetwork offers you a forum to leverage the strengths of these two essential arms to ensure successful partnering.

A Streamlined Process And Relevant Issues Reflected In the Round Tables
Taking from attendees’ feedback, you can choose your round table topic as you register for the event. The round tables focus on addressing the challenges of partnering and engaging both the BD and IP practitioners into a lively discussion. The Round Table discussions will run for 50 minutes, followed by an afternoon break, and then everyone goes back to the general session to hear a 10-minute summary from each of the table moderators. This way all attendees will gain valuable insights from the key take-aways from the different table topics. For roundtable topics and moderators, click here.
