Thank for for attending. See you in 2016!

BIO events attract the most sophisticated investors in the life science community and provide a robust forum for this community to engage in the advancement of promising technologies that improve and save lives. BIO is pleased to provide complimentary registration to qualified investors under BIO’s investor policy which has been clarified.

Qualified investors are defined as institutional, private equity, angel and venture investors with funds on-hand, whose primary activity is direct investment in research and development companies (e.g., hedge fund, mutual fund, or venture fund). Equity research analysts from investment banking institutions and buy-side analysts also qualify as investors. 

The fund name, portfolio type, and other helpful information is needed for BIO to process your registration appropriately. Receipt of complimentary registration for a prior year's event does not automatically qualify a registrant for complimentary registration in 2016.

Organizations who apply for investor registration, who have a service provider component to their business model, such as investor relations, contract services, organizations who host events that are in competition with BIO’s events, etc. will be ineligible for complimentary investor registration. Should BIO discover undisclosed information about your organization's business model AFTER your application has been approved, it may be rescinded at BIO’s discretion.

Alternate registration option: If you are having difficulty registering via the link above or prefer to register instead via email, please complete this form, save it, and email it as an attachment to lsher@bio.org.

A more detailed list of criteria for investor registration is available here.
