From the event website: This is a one-day conference organized annually by the Southern California Biomedical Council (SoCalBio) to showcase the strength and future of the bioscience industry in Los Angeles/Orange County and surrounding communities.
This year’s conference carries the theme “Sustaining Innovation in a Challenging Economy,” and will include sessions focused on how emerging companies can succeed when traditional sources of early stage funding are in short supply. As always, the conference will also showcase dynamic bioscience firms currently seeking capital and partnership opportunities.

This conference will:
- Showcase emerging bioscience firms and technologies looking for capital and seeking partnerships

- Highlight the role of public/private partnerships in sustaining a regional culture of innovation and entrepreneurship
