BioNetwork 2007 at The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel was a remarkable success with the help of exceptional speakers, relevant presentations, and great audience participation. Over 250 business development and licensing leaders from top pharmaceutical and biotech companies gathered to network and explore partnerships, as well as discuss the evolution of alliances in the industry. There were numerous opportunities to meet with potential partners, be it through BioNetwork’s one-on-one meeting rooms, numerous receptions, or end of conference golf outing.

Preparations are already on the way for our 6th annual event taking place October 6-8, 2008 at The Ritz Carlton Laguna Niguel, CA. Partnerships are vital to your company’s success. Complementary resources – biotech’s innovative products and pharma’s deep pockets – have been the impetus for many strategic alliances. Yet the cold truth is that most of them fail - and for non-technological reasons. Culture clash, miscommunication, and poor strategic matches are often to blame. How will you avoid a similar fate with your next partner? BioNetwork 2008 will provide the knowledge you need to drive business success.
