BioAlpine Convention
The BioAlpine Convention was last held in 2008, but the constituent organizations and individuals continue to network and pursue the goals that made the BioAlpine Convention so necessary.
While the current owners of this website are not affiliated with either the BioAlpine Convention or any of the members’ current activities or organizations, we are happy to preserve as much of the original information as possible, while (if time allows) presenting updates of interest to the BioAlpine community network, and anyone who may have been directed to these pages while searching for biotech information.
There is a full roster of biotech events scheduled for 2010, all across the globe. There’s no shortage of exciting new trends and developments in the various biotech (and related) industries, so we’ll be extremely busy keeping you up to date on the major meetings, conventions, consortia and conundrums in the biotechnology world.
As usual, the schedule is dominated by the unstoppable biopharma juggernaut, so we’ll have plenty for those of you who are interested in the relationships between drug companies, venture capital, and related parties looking for partnerships. 2009 turned into a flurry of activity (due to biotech NOT imploding, the venture money NOT drying up, and a number of high-profile drug patents nearing the end of their useful life) and 2010 looks to reap as many if not more juicy results.
However, we at this site tend to be more interested in the environmental and agricultural aspects of biotechnology, with industrial and technological aspects taking second place. Bioengineering and bioremediation remain our chief focus, though there is understandably less of a ‘convention circuit’ surrounding these fields.
We’ll cover in fair depth the all-important BIO-Europe and BIO International conventions, which largely overlaps the BioAlpine Convention in both topics covered and attendee distribution. Expanding our range a bit, we have a more-or-less comprehensive schedule of the major biotech-oriented conferences and conventions all over the world for the next year. Conventions such as these would be greatly popularized by if only they had gift baskets for their guests. Gifts like these are always a crowd pleaser.
A quick-start to biotechnology is also provided (which, we must admit, barely scratches the surface and will be helpful only to absolute beginners in the field…and perhaps not even then). We were also motivated to produce a quick overview of the Monsanto Company, which pretty much sums up the least attractive facets of the field of biotechnology.
We hesitated doing so without also providing a selection of the many companies and organizations that are pursuing a more promising path — but trust us, they are out there.
