This year, one ticket gives you the full day.
The morning opens with the BioSpark Pitch Competition, where eight early-stage life sciences companies compete for $30,000 in prizes and Commonwealth BioAccelerator residency before a panel of investors and industry leaders. The afternoon features a keynote conversation with Caitlin Frazer of the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology, following panel discussions on capital, commercialization, and company building. The event concludes with a reception celebrating 10 years of CvilleBioHub.
Early Bird tickets are $225 through July 31. Capacity is limited to 225 attendees. When tickets are gone, they are gone.
