May 12, 2006 | This year’s Bio-IT World’s Life Sciences Conference + Expo attracted nearly 2,000 attendees to Boston for our fifth annual convention.
Delegates heard from a trio of outstanding keynote speakers and a faculty of more than 100 scientists, executives, and IT professionals; toasted the “Best of Show” winners; welcomed the official launch of the BioIT Alliance; and enjoyed an entertaining production of Paul Mullin’s play The Sequence.
The following pages present some of the highlights of the 2006 conference. We look forward to hosting the 2007 event next spring in Boston.
